I assume you have measured? My LWb shuttle with roof prep, OEM suspension and Falken Wildpeaks 235/65/17 sits at 1.94 (fully loaded and I mean FULLY loaded).
Most of our 235 tyres are fitted to aftermarket rims. The factory davenport wheel is 7" wide, so technically a 235 is slightly too wide, but will work fine with no problem. A 225/65/17 will work perfectly on the factory wheels.
255/45/18 is almost identical to standard overall diameter (standard being 215/60/17)
255/55/18 takes it to almost identical diameter to my 235/65/17 Falkens...makes your speedo under read slightly...70 is actually 72 ish
Can't comment on the width of yours, but would have thought it'd be fine...
I'm glad I'm not the only one thats done this...... the last 2 weeks spent researching on and off..... decided on Falken Wildpeaks 235/65/17 on a new set of 17x8 rims with an ET35.
Very nearly went for a set of 245/65/17 but on std T32 suspension its seems there is a very small possibility of...
Really want to fit 235/65/17 (probably Michelin Crossclimates)but it’s a bit of a jump from current 215/60/17
They do look great in photos and fill the arch but what effect on economy and driveabilty?
I’ve got 6.1 SWB 204 DSG
Any help much appreciated
My speedo underreads compared to the GPS since moving to 235/65/17 Falkens however I never used it anyway as I have a dash mounted sat nav that I use for the GPS speed everywhere I drive and converts to kmh so thats nice and handy when in Europe and all that.
Hi all, I currently have Claytons with hankook 205/65s on my t32 T6. These are approaching the end of their life.
On my other cars I've recently been fitting cross climate 2s and generally been very happy.
I the T6 I'm primarily concerned with noise and comfort but obviously want a decent...
Don’t know what these wheels are but I think they’re much improved with the satin black rather than the original silver. 30mm spacers all round!

Are your current tyres 235/55 r17? If so, then the 225/65 r17 will be 4.6% bigger and will fit no issues - your speedo should also read correctly if it's the normal 67mph at 70mph under reading.
There are 235/65 BF Goodrich K02's but they're not speed rated. 245/65 should fit on std suspension...
Yeah I'll get them ceramic coated at the weekend then give them a test fit, it'd only be for the 200 miles to CRS at the current height.
They're only 13mm bigger than 235/65 but obviously a bit wider too.
...lowered from stock by CRS...it'll be higher than it currently is.
I'm going to flip a coin to decide between....
