Those are 18"s off a Mazda RX8 !!!

the profile will vary from vehicle to vehicle - depending on the size of the wheel well , but roughly should be in the range of 40~55

i didnt know till now that Mazda's have the same PCD as Toyota's, leave alone an Estima MPV!

as for local conditions i dont think it would ba advisable given the ride is gonna be fairly stiff with such a low pro. & its bound to get roughed up given its gonna be used to haul ppl

low pro also cannot take the weight of the van.. ideally you need to get 8ply 'light truck' tyres.

Thanks guys...

im using 6ply (205 R14 70 or 60 cant remember..) for my one caz its a 7 seater and most of the time there will be maximum 4 people to travel ...

i have an idea of changing my rim size to 16 or 17... i have seen some JAPANESE Hiaces with large rims

the Japs play around with those Vans a fair bit... its mostly once your outta the city into the hills that u see groups of em modified vans - they're like Biker gangs , the van crowd in Japan! pretty nicely kitted those

hmmm not too sure abt the fittment specs so why not check www.tirerack.com

if there has ever been a US spec of what ever your van is then this site will carry a fitment guide - its very comprehensive

Japs don't have the potholes to worry about Go with the 8ply tyre on 13 wheels. Vans are bumpy as they are. Unless you want the look over the ride quality.

You can look at Hola's wheels ...since he needs car alloys in place of the van alloys he has.
