No,
will be fine - poking out 35mm more than your existing wheels.
You need spigot rings and new wheel bolts.

Wow, thank you. It looks nice, but why do I need spigot rings? Would it be dangerous if I wear it without that piece?
The BMW wheels will have a centre bore of 74.1mm - the T6 has 65.1mm.
Spigot rings stop/reduce vibrations and a few other issues - don't drive without them.
Yes, you'll find different opinions online but for £10 just don't risk anything.
In theory the wheels hold onto the hub with the axial clamping force of the bolts but...

Did you check the load rating? From what I can find out it is 91, this is not high enough for a transporter. Only rated to 615kg

I did some research and read that even if I use a spigot rings, vibration may occur at high speeds. I'm thinking of not installing this rim, I will consider the original 18'' rims. Thank you for your suggestions.

Load rating wasn't a big deal for me, I don't use it very heavily, but I'll still evaluate it.

Does anyone have a 18” rim suggestion?
Have you considered steel rims? That is if they are available.
The would think your van unloaded will be higher load than those wheels. They are off a 3 series.
Welcome to the Forum. I don't know if all of them will be available in your region, but there are lots of ideas for 18" wheels in this thread.

Hi there. I am having my 16" Standard VW Alloys changed next week for 18" from WOLFRACE. The choice is mind boggling so not sure what to go for. I quite like the Assassin Red Tips as I'm have the red grille detail stripe too. Any thoughts or pictures of your alloys so I can choose mine please...
