You'll be lucky! Trying to find A/T tyres for a 14" wheel, especially with the correct load rating, is not easy. These have an almost identical rolling diameter to 205R14s (i.e. 80 profile)and are a touch wider, but I've never found a UK stockist:

Mid engined, 6 cylinder, turbocharged 2 seater - it can only be a VW LT!

Yeah, if you change the wheels it gives you a lot more options! Thought from your initial post that you wanted to stick with standard LT wheels but but have misread.

You just need to put a profile on the wheel bolt holes, as the Transit wheels use the centre bore for location and hence have flat faced holes. But you probably know all this already. Look forwards to pictures!
