The sport arches on yours fill the space better.

Sport arches on mine would look good or get a 50 profile for the rears....would 55 be too much?

Yours are wider but mine are taller being 50 profile :wink: I tried to find some 245/50/18's with the 101 weight loading and extra load but there stooopidly expensive for just a Transit.

I think the 50's are just about right, not too balloonish if you get what i mean :lol:

I was thinking they would be mega money if you tried to get bigger sizes in the correct load.

And yea, they are only slightly wider and not taller.

Kevsit if you like the sport kit have you seen this van that sportman did a while back before the silver sport was even out ?

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=83614&hilit=silver+mwb+sport+kit&start=15

imho i think that looks better than a proper sportvan 8) The 50's are actually cheaper than the 45's :D I've got Falken zieus 235/50/18 101w EXTRA LOAD, oe sport tyres are only 98w weight/speed rating and wear out whilst parked ! :lol: EXTRA LOAD is a must for van to keep the insurance valid :wink:

Thats a nice van that one.

I have been enquiring about getting pipes made up for the front, back and sides of the van with leds in them.

Got another set of wind deflectors to put on as mine got knicked.

Got a rhino rack to go on.

And thinking of the wrap...then the pipes....thats alotta dough!!

I think the ideal tyre choice is 235 50 18 front and 245 50 18 on rear for mine maybe...or go 255 rear for that little extra width.

The wheels look good but would defo look better on a grey van have you priced it up?? Iv just had a price on wrapping a range rover in white and it's £1200 I'm not sure if thats silly money or the sort of money you have to spend on a wrap?

Similar money...gotta get bumpers smoothed for the wrap on the transit so thats more money.

My mate had his rr wrapped in white a few years back...looked good
