Hi, Iam considering in changing my rims. I have 2 pictures of 2 different alloy rims.

these are 15inch with 5 studs.

these are 14 inch in size with 5 studs.
I need to know if they fit with a VW t25 please? Thanks very much.

the van is PCD 112 , check for information stamped into the rim, not to mention the extra weight you might expecting them to carry, in case of an accident your insurance might not pay out.

I don't think a polo weighs 2.5 tonnes....

The spacing for the wheel studs (PCD) is 100 on the polo (112 on a T3), the bolt holes are for 12mm bolts/studs (not 14mm as needed for T3) the load rating of theses wheels is bound to be inadequate as both were designed for a car.
Not to mention the centre's would need drilling to accomodate the wheel bearing cap.
And don't forget the load rating also applies to the tyres which absolutely have to be 95 or over (97 or higher recommended) standard 185R14C's are 99/101 rated.
