Rustoleum paint :wink:

i agree. after hours of research while I should be working, I"m going to paint my van with rustoleum on the inside before I ply it out (bit of protection) and also a new paint job with it on the outside...

I know it might seem that they fit but if them nuts don't seat properly they're wrong as Luke has told you in another of your post's

those are landrover wheels and will need redrilling (or special nuts) to fit properly.

Landrover has 16mm studs on a 5 x165 pattern, transit has 5 x 160 with 12mm studs. The difference in the stud dia. means the wheels will physically fit on the studs but they will NOT be seated properly. DO NOT USE THEM WITHOUT REDRILLING it is highly likely they wouldnt stay on the hubs for very long...

Unless you know what you are doing get a machine shop to do it

Sorry it took me a while to replay but how much would it cost to get them re drilled in a machine shop
