I have no problem with tyres rubbing & Ford Fits 225/40/18 tyres to the Transit Connect Sportvan as standard.

No need for fitting spacers, Althought if people do have problems with tyres rubbing I would suggest to check all suspension components for wear / damage

Looking good here.
I've taken some inspiration from some of these, and I am going to add some colour to the bumpers.
The van will soon be sign written and I was going to ask them if they could add some vinyl wrap to part of the bumpers, do you think this would be better than painting?
