Hi all,
Wandering if you can help me.. I get that the norm is to want bigger rims, but I was musing.. what about smaller rims. I’m thinking 13inch with some fat tyres. Think classic mini on 10inch rims with fat tyres giving that go kart look.

Any thoughts? Havnt looked to see if I can get 13s with the right pattern etc but I reckon could look pretty cool.

Smaller rims will not fit the brakes.
If you will manage the brakes, you will ruin the road holding characteristics of the van.

Well that told me! Haha
Very good and fair points I hadn’t began to think of, embarrassingly. Still.. would look fun haha

Thanks again
