Just curious as I know typically a 205 is the max width the tyre industry advise on a 6” rim. I reckon with a tall profile it shouldn’t be an issue.
I’ve got these steels with 205/70/15c. Was tempted to pick up a pair of the 15x6.5 et37 and some 225/70 to try on rear and see how they clear and drive but never found any cheap enough to play with.

ash, yes they are et31 6 inch, didnt even consider the width..my bad... was too worried about it fitting in the space. Van feels more sturdy on the road. Do feel i could do with a 5th gear now though. Havent been on a long drive yet to see but 1st defo feels even more of a crawler and second like first...
Will be interesting to see how speedo relates and rpm at 3, before swap it would be around 57...
