You would also have to take into account the offsets. I don't know what they are for both cars, but you might find you have to run spacers.
Some people use them happily and some won't touch them.

hey there,
well i reckon get custom offset made by companies like ROH or Simmons. They have nice rims they suit sprinters quite nicely, plus if someone nicks them, they probably won't fit a comi!! See where i'm coming from...
I've heard of other owners doing this before so shouldn't be any problem. ROH factory is in Adelaide, Simmons are in Sydney.
cheers

Toyota crown front hubs have the same stud pattern as ford, and I do believe they fit the sprinter stub axle, your rear then only have to be changed or a hilux or ford diff could stuff instead.

For the cost of the conversion plus the money you plan on spending on wheels would be enough to get you some VERY nice rims.
I'm pretty sure a complete new diff would be on the cards unless you have a shortened commie diff then the option would look alot more benificial.
You can get 15" 114.3x4 steelies, just need to look.
