If I buy a set of landrover modular 16" steel wheels If I understand right they will need re-drilling to fit my smiley, As I tow a race car will I have trouble with the body hitting the tyres? jim

Jim
They will need redrilling...
But does your van have 5 or 6 wheel studs? If its 6 studs forget it...

5 studs, So you think that the body should clear the tyres?

Might help if we knew the tyre size 
Ford Transit 120 TDI EPIC Automatic. 0-60 in a leisurely and smooth 12.7 seconds and 1/4 mile in 19.1 seconds. Now where's all these faster? manual Di s?

Jim has my old Tourneo......
I would say get 15" Modulars, as 15"tyres
are available cheaper than 16"...
And to the question will they rub?
It all depends on the offset of the rim.
also the width and profile of the tyre...
In other words there are too many choices to answer the question!
As a generalisation the tyres will rub but, there will be a combination
that will be fine.
When I had the Tourneo, I fitted the same wheels and tyres as Mr Mpuk
has for sale, as the rims and tyres are both Rated for a van....
Hope that all makes sence
