 But surely with an 18in wheel you'd be using extremely thin tires with very little sidewall cushioning.Also the center bore is not right. Doesn't that matter? I thought having the correct center bore was  a safety consideration as it gives the wheel more stability if for instance a lug bolt comes loose.

 This is a wheel I have fitted on a number of Vanagons. The 32mm offset is near perfect, direct fit on Syncros. On the 2WD it may hit the upper ball joint requiring a 3mm spacer. This is due to the 8 inch width. It is rated for 1,850 pounds. I'm running these on Fun Bus. If using the GoWesty HD drums the thickness of those will space the rears out to match the 3mm spacers in front. With spacers you should use longer studs/bolts.
