nice find, it would be good if we can get some kind of group discount on these.

they are in Latvia :shock: must be somewhere closer.

From what ive read about wheel adaptors and transits,its a dodgy game.
Can someone enlighten me on this?For instance can i go to a 5/108 pcm on a transit mk7 legally??they always seem to stick out from the arch and/or rub the arch.
Has anyone got any pics of this done legally with a full set of adapters being used?

These guys seem to know the ins and outs.Its an interesting read http://www.wheel-whores.com/forum/
I would be interested in some adapters maybe a couple of sets,but someone needs to do the math.

Any replies are greatfully received and as always mickey taking welcomed :mrgreen:

yeah mk6 is the same - and thats the problem wheels sticking out of the arches isnt legal :( the only way to do it is put thin tyres on so the tread is under the arch (the wheel and sidewall can stick out) but it'll be difficult on a mk6/7 :(

Not Transit, but Sierra P100 Pick up, which was restored and had some PCD adapters made (with photos) by a company in Manchester: Program engineering in eccles manchester
