just thought i let you no got set adapters made looked like these on but was s$%t as they dont have the middle part for the wheel to sit on and made van undrivable still got in my garage every wheel place i went into if to try and fit said they was so unsafe you need some thing for the wheel to seat on so sold my wheels and got ford 16" alloys if any one want them you can have for free but i would not use them if you are going to use adapters just put the middle bit which seats out for the wheel to seat on.
thanks john

if u use ANY alloys for your van they HAVE TO BE WEIGHT RATED OTHERWISE ITS VERY DANGEROUS!!! imagine what it could do if a wheel were to break free from the van :shock: lives at risk! :(
