I have a 77 kombi which is lowered with merc 17s. They have an off set of 46 and they fit, it is a bit of a tight fit and the front scrubs on the inner wheel arch on very hard lock, but besides that they are perfect.

my rims are 17x7.5, so the rims you are looking at might fit even better.

Excellent. Thank you very much for the reply. I was more concerned about the back but sounds like they will fit okay. If you have donw it they must fit. Any pics of them on your bus?

Cheers mate.
