Transit Custom wheel and tyre change, thoughts?

What you guys thinks 22 to16 aesthetically, obviously more practical. Only do 2000 miles a year roughly.

it's a done deal I guess - but without the white decal and 4season chunky tread the 16's would look better
.. but maybe the treads there because you need the grip, doesn't that degrade mpg though.

Photoshop just gauging peoples thoughts before I decide

Smaller wheels the better on a van imo, i'm not a fan of the offroad style tyres on it as they're chuffing noisy and will impact on MPG

Wouldn't bother myself, you've got the 'sporty' looking van and they fit the look better.

For 2000 miles a year does it matter?

Driving though Stafford at the moment don't matter if its one mile, going get pulled for evasive driving soon.

Roads have got 100% worse since I had it

Looks as though the smaller wheels might not clear the brakes?

They are original wheels been on since I had it, others are photoshop.

the 22 look much nicer IMO but the new set look like they would be a much smoother ride with far better comfort

Not sure I'd go to 16, 17 or 18 give a good compromise between comfort and driving dynamics - 17 good for winter/off-road with the extra rubber.

All-terrain type tyres will also have a noticeable impact on braking distance, wet handling, acceleration and MPG, I've got a set made up for specific use but normally wouldn't leave them on for everyday driving.
