newbie here to the van scene, I bought these today for 50 quid ,they are 5 x 112 with a 20 offset ,will these fit a T twenty five ok?They look kinda old school which is why I bought them . Now I haven't actually got a van yet ,but I'm shopping  and I taught they where too cheap to pass up. What size tyres work best on these? many Thanks. pictures gone awol again

What size are they? Photos can be a bit tricky to put up. You must resize them first. Then you can upload them. Actually its not that difficult. Your from Dublin? I know the name from some of the Irish vw sites..

leebo's post from vagdrivers.
I would've thought the offset is too small for a T3 especially if you're going to use spacers (which will make it even smaller) T3's are about 30 offset as standard I think.
..
I bought these bad boys today they are 5 x 112 offset is 20.I haven't actually got a van yet hoping to get up to see bernies wagen tomorrow.anyhoo these where cheap and I liked the look of them ,there old school looking so thats why I got them.heres a few pics anybody heard of these wheels?

they look very similar, but the granny wheels don't have technocast casted in them and I think the ET is about 35 on granny wheels

You need to look at width or the wheel before deciding tyre width if 7in I would say 215-65- 16 or even 215-70-16  if eight 225

cheers folks, I was getting worried I taught they where gonna catch the suspension.8J x 16 H2-OFF-20 is printed on the wheel .I'd rather have a lower profile / thinner lookin wheel ,The tyres on it now are 236/60/ 16 and they look like a truck wheel ,not pretty.

So, if it were an 16' x 8J rim, what would be the tire size to avoid issues? 225/?

And if lifters are needed, what is the best route to go. Never done this before.
