Almost completely off topic, but please make sure that the drain cover shown in one of the photos is rated for commercial vehicles. I broke the one on our drive with the van - turns out it was designed for cars only.

I love the colour on your van but for me they stick out too far. I don't know if thats the width or the et.
Their was me thinking what pearls of wisdom is @Pete C going to install in me with my current dilemma on wheels and it turns out he's after my man hole for his collection
You are ok it is load rated for commercial. We have another one just at the bottom of the drive as well, when we moved that was one of the first thing i checked.
Being in the building trade seen many a vehicle stuck in a pedestrian manhole
Where abouts are you? I wouldnt mind seeing this colour against a Starlight van before I decide on wheels.

Thanks, bit for from Salford.
Does that mean you won't be jumping on any of my comments about my wheels, asking if they are for sale yet
Maybe silver will look better on StarlightDoes that mean you won't be jumping on any of my comments about my wheels, asking if they are for sale yet

I do sometimes consider a change, specially with all the miles I do. I keep looking at the Swamper style, and know it's far more practical for me to go this route, but it means throwing a bucket load more money at my van, when it's at the peak of how I want it.
Thanks for the comments guys its what i thought, so monday ordering a new set
These will be coming up for sale in the next few weeks
As mentioned, get 4 8.5s made up to make two sets then you'll be able to sell the spare set ...I know how you feel...you get excited waiting for them and then that crappy feeling when you stand back and they poke to much... I know of Van's running 9 fronts but they have to run 235/40/18 -tyres and have to bend the arch liner top screw right back
I don't know much about banding but would it be cheaper to see if they could redo them for you, as you may struggle to sell if appear to big ? nice colour by the way.
That would be to sensible
I think I've managed to find a solution will just have to see how it goes
you tried Duchy?
that's funny.....yeah as in Duchy banded wheels. .in Cornwall
