Anything scan be made to fit. They will need the centre bores machining out to clear the front hubs, at least 64mm bore. You will need spacers, longer studs, front and rear, the offset (ET35) is OK, but you will probably need to put wheel spacers in to offset the wheel outwards to clear suspension etc. due to the 8J width.

Overall rolling diameter is similar to standard wheel and tyre so not much issue there with clearance, unless you fit a suspension drop kit as well.

Tyres are under-rated for T25 though, should be minimum rating of 97 reinforced (some people don`t agree with this, I`m just going off what VW say). Ride will be hard due to very low profile.

No sorry man youre going to have to get new tyres to be safe, and to be legal. I just dont take the gamble myself. Certainly the law states here that you have to have C rated tyres on a van. Not too sure about UK though.
