Yes...with longer rear studs,longer front bolts,spacers and higher load rated tyres.
There's no 'r' in bought!

Thanks for the quick reply. I was looking for something a little more straight forward. Would wheels and tyres from an e class be better?

You will find that many merc wheels will fit.....but most will require longer rear studs....and or spacers at the front .
Tyres will need to be 97 load rated or higher.

Look up mercedes tolliman alloys.
Very popular, strong and about as easy as it gets to fit. You should get away with your standard rear studs and no spacers

Guess you haven't read the PM I sent you?

It was about these alloys:

Oh and tyres rated upwards of 93 are sufficient load for a T25.
97 is what's stated in the VW manual from 30 odd years ago when tyre technology and tyre choice wasn't anywhere near what it is today.
