You are looking at a 17" wheel there.
You need a 65.1mm centre bore or have to get spigot rings to adapt.
care needs to be made that they are van/load rated and not just car spec.

Standard Offset 45. +or- 5 should be OK on 8x18 wheels.
 
9.0 rim is very wide, 275 tyre would be needed.

When you go up from 8 inch rim to a 9.5 rim the ET needs to be different or the extra 1.5" (37mm) will be on the rim outer which may stick out beyond the body edge.

In your wheel above the wheel rim centre is approx in the middle of 240mm or 120 from the outer edge, wheel bolt on is 40mm in from that meaning that outer edge is 162mm from the hub outwards.

Rough check is to take a wheel of and measure 162mm out front hub face and see where the rim edge would be, the tyre would be the same or a bit further depending on tyre width.

Only 16" wheels don't fit over thye 17" brakes

If you go on the Banwy website who sell them, it says the original Sport line wheels are not suitable for the T5 180

This was a post on the Cali Forum some time ago. (below) I spoke to a chap at Banwy and he confirmed the 18" early SL wheels don't fit I've just been on their new website which is not so good, no wheel for sale it used to say not suitable for the 180 due to the big brakes.

I'm not expert but can only say what I was told.


The older style ones don't fit the facelift 180 due to the larger disc callipers on the front

I see what you mean it's the spokes that catch not the internal diameter..

Yes I wanted a set on our T6 Cali but did not want to use spacers due to warranty or insurance uncertainty so went for Springfield's instead.

Yeah its only the very original sportline wheels that dont fit over the bigger brakes, as mentioned above will require small spacers to allow them to clear
