Folks,
I have a 2018 t6 highline originally factory built on 16” rims.
I have upgraded the wheels to 20” and also the front discs and callipers to 340mm.I’ve been told the 16” spare will not fit now.
question does anyone know if the spare wheel carrier will accept a 17” rim shod with with a...
Thanks for your reply, I didn’t want it lowered as I don’t. Think my new wheels and tyres will fit if lowered 40mm.
That’s the issue
255/55/18
So was going to try normal OEM springs T30 and T32
...I may have used the term roll in the wrong way... I understand body roll is suspension, I meant more the loose grip/sidewall flex from the stockers which can feel like roll.
In australia 255/55/18 are the most common for the load rating, would I be safe with that size in a 38 offset on 8.5 rims?

I run lightly loaded.
Fronts: 3 psi less than the T6 door jamb sticker for 235/55/17- 255/45/18
Rears: I matched the bottom bulge of the fronts tyres; either by eye or using an off-set straight edge from the wheel rim (2 bits of roofing lath) aligned vertically
Cannot find this combo, apologies if I missed it.
Dealer cannot be bothered to advise (they swapped them out for the Claytons), anyone know?

Half the modifications I see on here aren't what VW suggest! :slow rofl:

Hi @LondonLad so I have the same issue, I have 18" 255/45, so 17" transporter wheel is OK with larger calipers and the 235/55 on the wheel fits under there OK or is it a squeeze? I'm driving through Spain later this month and don't want to do it with just the repair kit.
There is only 1 size...
Is it ok to recommend Performance Alloys by the way? They were really helpful for me finding load- rated alloys that were a direct fit for the T32…..

The sticker inside my door says 52psi front and 46psi rear for a 17" tyre. Im running 18" bandeds with 255/55/18 tyres. The advice given to me is to run them to what the sticker says. Mines a t32 lwb shuttle. Anyones thoughts on this please?.
Hi Stevie
The 255/50 18’s are working a treat on mine. I can only compare the OE 215/60 17’s all seasons it came with but they soak up the crap road surfaces way better.
The gearing change is just noticeable on acceleration but feels nicer in the lower gears as I’m not in such a rush to get...
The door controllers (subsystem 1 & 2) are lost - how did that happen? Does central locking work, electric windows, mirror adjustment?
Also multi-function steering wheel controller (subsystem 3) has disappeared? Do the buttons work?

Hi.
I would love BF Goodrich tyres. I know absolutely nothing about tyres (like nothing, they are black and round is about my knowledge limit) so I am hoping for help.
We have bought 18 inch alloys that have winter tyres on them. They will need to be replaced as they are coming to the end of...
Hi, I've put on Amorok wheels on my 2019 transporter. wheel size is 235 / 55 / 18. Tyres are Pirelli Scorpions Verde rated 104, They are perfect & have little or no speedo error readout. Just make sure you don't get the 16" rims off an Amorok as they don't spin past the brake calipers.
Mick, do those 255/55s scrub? I tried the same size and although they didn't scrub on normal lock they did like hell when the suspension was compressed even slightly (soft off road). Only interested as I wonder if different brands differ???
Looks great by the way.
