anyone ever banded any 6 stud ones off a 190 can it be done ?

No, a guy in Oz had some alloys made up though.

I wouldn't bother as it's a 3.5T GVW and a class 7 MOT it would induce a whole load of hassle from VOSA or for the MOT. What's more is the person doing the work willing to guarantee the wheels are weight rated and will your insurance be valid?
Also 6 stud hub are already overly offset (Notice how your steering wheel jolts out of your hand when you hit a pothole? - the geometry is all wrong) if you offset them anymore you'd need flaired arches to be legal.

Better to change it to 5 stud, downrate it to a class 4 and then mess about with it I would reckon, or better yet get a 5 stud van.

I've been thinking about this, as my pickup is a Class 4, it can only really carry light timber and green waste, so I have been thinking of fitting a TATA Safari rear axle with an LSD and wheel adaptors on the front. You can buy TATA ones for £100, they are same PCD as 5 stud transit wheels and convert to 139mm. I might leave that in the thinking box though.

you can either do it by the book...or not

I just worry as mine's a pickup and I get stopped alot. Also I worry that my wheels might fail and I'II have a catastrophic accident at high speed....whilst struggling to do 28mph up the local hill... I worry a lot. Unnecessarily

I think twin rear wheels look quite tasty myself, kind of slot magish, there were two versions two, I think the Later or German ones look even more slotmaggish. If it were me I'd just fit a twin wheeler axle and a skirt for a van, for the front use five stud wheels on the front, to get the right offset with a dished front wheel and then fit some slotmags somewhere that vaguely match the twins at the rear. I think you'd be legal with different hubs front and rear, tyres only have to match on the same axle.

What are Transit tyres anyway? 5.5J so a full 11 inches of road holding on each side at the rear. Actually the reverse is true, I had a MK3 twin wheeler group4 van for a short while, scarily tail happy, as bad as a chassis cab, just a chassis cab mind -without any body on it!

i was looking into designing some wellers for twin wheel vans but i havnt done much about that yet
