I would say forget it. What possible chance would a wheel from a 2 seater convertible have a load rating sufficient for a 3.5T commercial vehicle?

Its also quite likely the offset is wrong as well, I would never risk it.

Fitting nonstandard or recommended parts may well invalidate the ins.

When I bought my VW T4 800 Special (special meaning cheapest!), it had fitted Audi A4 wheels which were underrated even for a 2.5T van. I bought some VW Passet Wheels to replace them which were just ok for my T4 but would have been underrated for any other model T4.
Even ignoring the PCD, ET and Centre Bore aspects, very few OEM Car Wheels would ever be suitable for a van (the only possibilties I can think of is maybe things like Range Rovers and those kind of monsters but they would be dubious).

This question comes up all the time on the VW Forums with people fitting underrated 20" BMW wheels and underrated Tyres on VW T5s.

When configuring Anita’s little Vito, increasing it’s carrying capacity dramatically reduced the wheel options. And that’s just a shopping van.
