I guess you mean them but they don't do Transit ones.

They dont have them in stock but will make them special order, hence the £200ish price tag, personally I would take a front hub and the type of wheel you want to fit to a half decent engineering workshop and you will pay half that price

And looking at the feedback this bloke has on eBay even if you give him the sizes you want they still probably wont be right and that's if and when they turn up!

well if your prepaired to downrate it to a 5 stud have a read of this if you do manage to get some adapters from 6 stud please let us know im sure its possable - probly easier to adapt them to 6 stud 4x4 wheels - plenty of them about

also it may be possable to redrill the rear axle i havent looked at one close enough

[MrMPuk]

What you need to remember is the 6 stud axles are alot wider than 5 stud and have a dished wheel, with spacers of about an inch thick on my 5 stud the wheels sit about 2 inches out past the arches. I think with the 6 stud and adaptors your wheels will be about 6 inches out past the arches!

big arches now your talking

Sounds like a wheelbearing eater to me to!

wide tyres to counteract that

i'd have style over wheelbearings anyday ..................... now when i had wide wheels and spacers on my minivan and it needed 2 radius arm bushes after 1 year thats a different story

Oh have I been there soooo many times 13" wolfrace slots on 1.25" spacers..........8-10 months max for the radius arms never bothered the bearings though but then a Mini aint exactly heavy

so should i forget the idea of the ally wheels and just stick with the standard steel rims ? if my bid is acepted on the van

[MrMPuk]

You are gonna find it very hard fitting the alloys on the 6 stud axles. I was looking at madvanmans axles at Billing and the studs stick out past arches so unless you wanna fit some wide arches and step the side door out then i'd give it a miss.
