:D I was just surfing around and came across a rite that has soome cool 15"-18" wheels that are made for utility vans. some even are approved by VW for use on their newer westys and comercial vans. figured they might be of interest to someone out there... www.tyresave.co.uk :twisted:
look for the link that says "transits and vans"

Here's the direct link:

I noticed their fitment list shows the T25 Transporter wheels as having a 20mm offset. I thought it 35mm was the correct offset?

:D european offset is measured from the center of the rim. ET35 only works for stock width wheels. If you go wider than stock, the ET number should go down. if you go from 6" wheel to a 7" wheel, for the same clearence between tire and suspension, the ET should be reduced by 1/2" or 13mm(ish) so ET 20 is OK if the wheel is wider than stock... going from 6" to 7" with ET35 would make the whees sit 1/2" closer to the spindle... :twisted:
