    You're getting extremely close to the brake calipers with this wheel. I thought at one point using 18x8's also but ruled against them after test fitting a set on our 2020 TC. I have seen a few TC's with 18'' on their van with lowering springs on customwheeloffset.com Plus my list here: 

    shows that there are a few vans with this type of setup. We're just not willing to go that wide or lower the van. I would search for a wheel that has less of an offset around 38-40 but even then anything over 45mm you're talking having to do some minor body work just to get these to fit.

    Just as a follow up, Check this page for specs and bolt patters as a reference or as compared to your setup. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/transit-courier/2015/ there could be some numbers that may or may not allow for 18's. Run that page just to verify if thats the van you're dealing with. if not find the correct page as I'll have a better knowledge of the van specs.
