re jesus is alright, it all depends on what you are going to do to the van, are you going to put an interior in? customise the body? add accessories? If so then consider that it will lower with the weight of the interior and other modifications you do to it, so if you are just starting your project then perhaps worry about lowering later. Then due to the difficulty of lowering a beddy you could always go the way of custom vans back in the 80's and lower your wheel arches to the desired height. Just a couple of thoughts that might help

Cheers Jeff

I can get brand new 15 x 8's with a 4.5" backspace from the US for $129US each. Bargain
only prob is it'll cost $400 to ship to aus regardless of if you want 2 or 4
so for me to buy two, it works out around $333 per wheel
if someone else wanted two, the price drops to $233 per wheel

anyone interested check out

Way too much money for wheels for a beddie My16x7s cost $300.00 complete with tyres with plenty off tread When the disc front is done the track will be the same as standard that is from center of tyre to centre of tyre
