No, but I may know where there may be a set of unblemished 20 inch alloys with 5mm tyre tread to fit a custom.

Happy new van mate.

I fitted one of these on the tailpipe of my Custom Sport;

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Tw ... 3f74a2d1d8

I was stunned at the quality of this thing for such a low price. It looks absolutely killer, and makes everyone think you have a V8 under the bonnet 8) You'll need to remove a short section of the downwards-facing OEM pipe end using an angle grinder with a thin metal cutting blade, and take out a small notch in the rear bumper with a half-moon file, but the result is well worthwhile. Because of the heat, (and potentially greater heat generated during DPF regens if you have a Euro 6), I also had a panel beater mate knock me up a profiled alloy chequer-plate heat deflector which sits directly above the tailpipe extensions on the bumper, just to avoid any potential plastic-melting disasters.
You might find something similar off the shelf at a boy-racer accessories shop. Enjoy!!

All the best

I have a magnetic grey custom with black 18" OZ wheels.

To be honest, I think they look a bit small. 20" might be better but it's not the size of the wheel that's the problem, it's the total size of the tyre that needs to fill the arch. 20" just means a lower profile tyre. What the custom needs is 20" and a higher profile tyre, but that changes all the gearing/speedo etc... still might be worth it?
