Hmmmm.......... surely if he knows he can do some good deals he knows all that information already
But if he doesn't, it should be, SFAIK
PCD = 5x114.3mm
Offset = 35 to 45mm
Centre bore = 67.1mm
The tyres must have a load index greater than 92 front and 96 rear.

Thanks.I think his comment was more,good deals in general as opposed to Bongos specifically and the fact he probably cannot be bothered to find out what i need !

In that case that is what he needs to know and make sure he knows the minimum load index of the tyres IS important - as those on here who have had underspecced tyres shred will confirm.
2 tonnes of Bongo needs tyres that are up to the job.
