Will these fit ??
As you can see from the pics they do and the seller no spacers are needed but would the nuts on van fit or would you need longer ones??

Almost certainly different shaped seats to the nuts & bolts, and almost certainly longer studs and bolts.

Not even close. 84 is 500kg per tyre, 88 is 560kg per tyre. Your van's rated to about 2.5t total - but you need to look at the maximum axle loads, on the VIN plate in the door shut. You HAVE to, under the construction & use laws, fit tyres rated to at least the maximum GVW of your van. The original 185 tyres on the standard steels were commercial tyres with 102 rating. The original 205/70 tyres on alloys was lower - about 98?

They may 'fit' a T25 as in being 5X112PCD but that's where it ends..
The offset(ET)is too low for a T25...they're designed for Bays and Splits.
The tyres are too small and not load rated for a T25....they're not even load rated for a Bay or Split!
I doubt the alloys themselves are load rated to 650kgs and above?
Hope that helps.

There's no 'r' in bought!

Oh, and apart from the fact that the wheels are _hideous_, the tyres look like somebody was actively trying to collect as many different cheap and nasty Chinese ditchfinders as they could...

Agreed on the weird collection of rubbish tyres - only needs a Wanlee for a full house. Personally like the wheels but they need proper van tyres on them or they look like spacesavers, the clubfeet of wheels
