Dave, No, John is correct. The factory alloy wheels are 1/2 " wider than the steel wheels, but the Agilis 61's fit them just fine. we know you had 205/70 - 14's on your bus, but now you have to replace the with 185 - 14 Agilis if you want the correct Michelin. Good luck finding any other brand in a 205/70-14, reinforced. I put the 185-14 Agilis 61's on my alloy wheels & the look just fine & handle even better than the 205/70-14 MXT's Call Michelin customer service at 800-642-4354 or 800-847-3435 and be persistent with the customer service rep. tell them exactly what you are driving & that you only use Michelins & that you worry allot about highway safety & tires. The will recommend 185-14 Agilis 61's. Period.
