the porker reps in the for sale section? Bit of a 'how long is a piece of string' question really. rears will be fine, fronts may or may not be depending on the tyres, the suspension on your van etc. you won't know til you try them.... probably need 6 or 10mm spacers on the front though...

Fair enough does more et mean wheel sits further out of the arch and less et mean they wheel sits closer into the arch or is it the other way round?

Other way round. Have a read of the alloy wheel info in the information section. It's under modifications, and tells you all about offset.

I think 17x7's would be OK on the front, if not you'd only need to 3 or 4 mm spacer anyway (ideal is about ET 30-32mm for 7" width).

As wheel width changes the offset needs to as well.
