Good job ! Not sure if the plastic spare wheel undertray is smaller on a T6.1 4mo but 235/55/18 fits in a standard T6 kombi inflated no problem. 245/65/17 and it needs trimming though as it’s 35mm bigger on the diameter.
Mine is a T6.1 Caravelle on 18” VW alloys but not sure if I can get any 18” BFG’s to fit them - was considering the 17” Davenport’s as the wheels are cheap but look ok.
Any suggestions would be welcome as the current Bridgestone tyres are neither any good in the dry or the wet and only last 8k!
...the van yet.
I want to change to BFG K02'S on a set of OZ rally raids, and as it is id only fit 225/65's - but I reckon with a set of std springs, koni special active shocks and a 20mm lift kit that should take me back to just over std (non caravelle) height which will allow 245/65 BFG K02'S.
Hi all,
I have recently converted my T6.1 swb panel van into a camper van. I threw on a set of KMC hole shot rims with Marshall Grabber tyres. My question is what tyre pressure would best suit this particular configuration ?
Thanks in advance

I have 235/65 17 AT3s and a 30mm drop. No issues at all. Believe I could get another 10mm lower without issue too. I wouldn’t go 245/65 17 as would throw the speedo out too much and I believe rub.
Here’s 2 x t32 4motions. Red one has 235/60/17 agilis crossclimate. Dark blue? One has 235/65/17 cooper discoverers. Red one has rogue alloys.
One of those vans had bfg 245/65/17 ko2 before but took them off because the noise got worse and worse as they wore down.

I am using the site, I want something chunkyier, and yes on the Amarok 17"'s
I like the idea of 225/65/17 102H Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3WA All Season Tyre on either steel wheels or these silver Amarok 17"
Don’t know what it is with the Kato’s but I think they are the best 17” wheel out there.
I am biased, but they just look the part.
I ended up with some Michelin Agilis Climate Controls. 235/60r17. Load rated at 117.
Will post pics in a month once I’m swapped out the current 18” Conti Winter...
235/65's should be completely fine, I think they're fine even down to 40/50mm lowered.
You've got the same wheels as me, 17" Cascavel so presumably 235/55 tyres, with 235/65 tyres you'll gain about 20-25mm ride height, but you're already lower by 20mm (probably more) than a std van which is...
I’m on a 2WD 110ps just.
Good point about the part worn element. The spare the van had was a shocker, chunks out the sidewall. I might just chuck a new tyre of the same size on that and just hope I’m not 5hr and 20mins from the house the next time the 20’s go.
Another couple of questions for...
Hi all,
Has anyone seen OEM VW Rocadura Amarok 17" wheels on a Transporter?
They are 8.0J x 17, ET49 with a maximum permissible axle load: (kg) 1930. The recommended wheel size is 245/65 R17 111
Would this work on a T6.1 T30 camper?
Thanks!
Hi All,
Please don't shoot me down in flames for asking a question that I an image as been asked a 1000 times but I haven't found the post yet!
I have just picked up a T32 LWB it was I believe once a 9 seater mini bus, its now a 3 seater van for fishing and camping. I want to change the 20"...
