I presume they are Porsche wheels? in which case you will need adapters as they have a PCD of 130 and not 112.

yer there Porsche, wonder if there would be any problems with rubbing ?

I have Porsche D90's on my bus which I believe are the same pattern and adapters. 8" rear and 6" front with 225/55 and 205/50 tyres, lowered 60mm. No problems with the rear wheels, seems to be plenty of room, occasionaly the fronts will rub on the arch but I have adjustable shocks so have just firmed them up a bit to help sort it. Hope this helps.... somehow. Jonny

A lad on Brickyard called Charlie (aka Transporcher) sells top quality ones and there are usually some on Ebay for about £150 but i'm not sure how good they are.

205/45... you sure?
gonna be a bit small (gearing/speedo) and also the load rating (81) is only a max of 452kgs per tyre at max pressure...
a van weighs 1.6 tons empty... let alone a camper or loaded...

i didn't know that

thats something I'll have to look into want really low pro's so they look small and phat and also so i can get the van low as it will go but still be able to drive onto camp sites
