Combining elements that don t belong together often results in entertainment with a slight touch of outrage. And that s the case with this Ford Transit Custom van, which is looking a bit like a race car that seats too many people. 24 photos

The current generation Transit Custom has a five-bolt layout and even the larger Transit has five lug nuts.
