I have looked at an archived discussion stating that 16 x 7j 33os is fine for t25. would this still be the case with 215 60 16 on front and 215 75 16 on th rear?

Thanks

If it's good enough for Bernd Jaeger it's okay.
He sell a convesion where the fronts are 215/65 R15 and the rears are 235/70 R 15.

That keeps the speedo accurate but lowers the revs.

thanks. that link shows the AZEV-Alloy Wheel 7.5j J 16 ET 25 with the rear tyre 235 70 16 and front of 205 60 16. if i buy a 7j x 16 would an offset of 33 work do you think?
thanks

This is from the Brickwerks support page -

ET - meaning "Einpresstiefe" in German, this translated as "Insertion depth", or literally translated means back spacing. ET is the measurement from the bolt face of the wheel to the centre-line of the wheel. This measurement is crucial on a T3, get it wrong and your van will not be a nice vehicle to drive and you will forever be scrubbing tyres.
On a T3 you want to achieve an ET of around 30 to 36 ish. Standard wheels drop within this range. The rear isn't usually a problem but the front is. If you dip below 30 then the further away you get the heavier your steering will become, the more likely it will be to "tram-line" meaning the van doesn't want to do anything other than go in straight lines and the inside of the tyres will scrub. Dipping below 30 a little won't really matter too much but when you get down to say ET23 then weird things happen. See fig 1.

Mine are ET25 and have no problems at all.
