185 50 16 on front and 205 55 16 on back just cos I had them laid around but it does give the van a "rake look" it is sat on the 60mm/40mm lowering springs I have just sold but being an empty van near enough doesn't have the weight to drop the back down,thought of carrying a couple of council paving slabs but they might make the bed a bit uncomfortable.
Despite what people say this set-up does actually make the van handle and a lot more fun to drive probably helped by the huge stabiliser on the roof bars bit like a splitter on F1 cars keeps it planted !
Christ I was getting carried away there I nearly started believing what I was writing.

No they don't...99% of non T25 alloys require longer rear studs and front bolts plus spacers depending on the offset(ET)
