Just to add if the tyres are 255's they're too big for a T3 and those alloys!

Did you mean 225/50/16's?

I trial fitted some of these on my Caravelle, if memory serves me right you will need spacers on the front (or maybe the back, it was a long time ago)

Picked the wheels up yesterday only £150 with 4 virtually new tyres on ebay. Same wheels are selling for £256 at the moment with 2 days left. Thank god the seller spelt mercedes as merecedes Wink
 
Centre bore is fine as usual with merc wheels and bolt holes are 14mm as standard whilst ET is 42. Just some slight bubbling around the centre caps but good to go when I get the studs done.

I had those alloys on my van when I bought it. See pics at: http://www.tinyurls.co.uk/P28  I thought they looked pretty good but wanted to use up the rubber on some standard rims I had. The alloys had 10mm spacers on the front if I remember rightly but seemed to stick out a little. If you can get away with less then it would look better IMO but not sure about clearance of brake pipes? You'll just have to try it. Came with no spacers on the back but would have needed at least 10mm to give the right "stance".
