From what I know when I was looking for wheels for mine the centre bore will be too small, and the offset will require spacers to bring the wheels out, not a straight fit.

Yes....but,as mentioned,you'll need spacers....at least 25mm thick ones as well....longer front bolts and longer rear studs.
Plus the tyres are the wrong size as well.

Thanks Steve, they are a local company and they are always saying wheels a straight fit but I suspect they are just trying to shift them?

Yes I've seen their descriptions on some of the wheels and they leave a lot to be desired!!
Most of it is pure guess work,very very misleading and could be dangerous if the wheels are fitted to an unsuitable vehicle!!

For example...this description is for a set of Audi alloys they advertise as 'fitting' a T4 and with 195/65/15(91T) tyres on:
"Although not original van wheels they are rated to approx 700kg each"

The alloys are actually rated to 605kgs and only just suitable for the 800 SWB T4....no other T4... and the tyres are also the wrong size for a T4!

The descriptions for alloys advertised as fitting T5's are just as misleading.
"Not original van wheels as they are usually fitted to bmws but load rated to approx 2600kg so fine for most uses."

What they actually mean is they've guessed the load rating so the alloys 'may' only be suitable for a T26 T5 and not a T28,T30 or a T32.
And again the tyres are the wrong size and not load rated for a T5....plus some of the alloys have the wrong offsets for a T5.

They use the word approx in most of their adverts when stating(guessing) load ratings.
"approximately...used to show that something is not completely accurate or exact"


Chancers!
