Probably end up getting stuck in a field or on a speed bump or even damaging the underside of the bongo.

I'd be very surprised if you could get smaller wheels with a 5 stud pattern - and as for the tyres you'd need

You'd get laughed at?
I think you may struggle to get them on over the hubs even if you could find the right load rating, PCD etc
One has to ask, why would you want to?

It might help with height restrictions in car parks.

you can if you really want them....... and tyres to suit too at 96 rating...... BUT the tyres are almost non existent on these shores.... in the U.S no probs with Goodrich & Michelin doing suitable "boots"...... But as you all say.....not worth it and why?
