I'm still looking for tyres for mine , on wolfrace site they offer 255/45 R18 as a tyre package and it states on several sites 255 is the max an 8.5j wheel will take.
I was going 245 just incase but then that's only 100 load rating the 255 is 103 nearer to the sticker on my door shut...
Thanks all your replies.
I wondered if the ride might be a bit harsh/crashy on 255/45/18 ?
My velle is on 235/55/17 at present which seems ok.
Also maybe slightly better fuel consumption on the 235 than 255 ?
Anyone have any info on my TPMS question?
Stx drop circa 60mm whether that is low enough is personal preference.
2554518 are typically 103 rated for a t32 hence a lot of members have them. What load rating are your 245 4518 tyres and what load capacity is your van?
I tested mine yesterday as I'm going to a larger 235/55/18 friday from 255/45/18 and wanted to know the difference.
28 at indicated 30
37 at indicated 40
67 at indicated 70
Interesting to see what new ones will be.
Nice wheels! where did you buy them from?
yes OEM size for 18's is 255/45/18. although people have also fitted 235/50/18 and 235/55/18, do a search on the forum for more info. Main thing to ensure is that you get the correct load rated tyres for your van.
Hi Folks,
Please forgive me if this is a silly question. I've jumped on the VW camper bandwagon and decided to purchase an Ex AA van for a conversion. The van im getting is a T6 67 plate (T32) has the standard wheels (assume 15in) and i wanted to know if i could replace these with 18in wheels...
...fit inside in the wheel arch ok?
Also tyre wise I can’t make up my mind whether to go for Michelin CrossClimate 2 tyres in 235/55/18 or 255/45/18 size?
I would appreciate any opinions/advice on the above sizes.
Oh, and will I have any problems with the TPMS system if I change wheels and...
Went all the way from 16” to 20”. Found the 235/55/18 being the best compromise with standard suspensions. And 255/45/18 best compromise with Koni shocks. I went from 16 to 18 245/55 and it was not pleasant in terms of comfort. 235/55 feels more similar to 16” 215/65.

Yes think raising the coilovers a touch will be the way to go. Just thought this size was quite popular for people from reading the forums but maybe not as low as me!
Just been given permission to buy a set of these. How are you getting on with them? Still happy? I'm going to put 235/50/18/101
