Will These wheels Fit a Bongo?

Now I realise the ET is 35, not 40, but with a 5mm spacer would they fit?

I'd be more worried about the weight rating, they don't give one and only mention vehicles half the weight of a Bongo

You'd have to machine 5mm off not add on with spacers. Having said that, they will fill the arches better. Weight rating is mare important, but I did once get told by a major manufacturer that all alloys whatever design were the same strength. Dunno how true it is

Non-standard aftermarket wheels open up potential problems when you let the insurance company know. My original Mazda wheels were in a terrible state when I got the van, but for £50 each I had them professionally refurbed and powder coated. I'm happy with the results although sometimes I hanker after an RX8 set.

Can't help thinking to myself that +5mm offset will no be noticable.

I wouldn't think it's a problem, but I'm no expert :wink:
