    T32 Wheel Options.

    Hi, The label on the door pillar gives you the options that would have been available direct from VW at the time the van was built and covers all of the factory fit wheel options that could have been fitted. You don't need to worry about this for insurance purposes, there is no problem with you...

    All-Season Tyre recommendations

    Be carful using a 255/55. I tried one just to see How they scrubbed and it was an interesting process. Without spacer they only scrubbed on over steer and with spacer, no scrub. Then we noticed that the suspension travel when compressed on full lock did scrub even with a spacer. Bear this in...

    All-Season Tyre recommendations

    Everything I can see online suggests that 235's are fine on 8.5" rims; some suggest you can go as narrow as 225's. I think because 50 aspect ratio gives a reasonably deep side wall depth, it allows more compensation in wheel width. It should be absolutely fine. 255/55/18's fit fine, you may...

    Filling the wheel arch ....

    so my choice is down 20mm on suspension, up 10mm on tyre radius. Net effect 30mm less gap on wheels arches; but only 10mm less ground clearance; add 25mm spacers; and with 235/60/17 a really good ride, and pothole proof(ish)

    285/60/18 off road tyre

    Its At This Moment.....

    I'm Weatherproof SUV 235/60/17 which is about 3.5% oversized (lifts the van by about 11mm) You can get them 235/55/18, and I think that's a perfect size imo. 255/55/18 are 7.5 % oversized (lift the van by 25mm - over standard 235/55/17) It is a biggish decision imo to go that big; yo will notice...

    These are my old Nokian's still on their 17" rims, as I've changed to 18" rims My tyres: Only 3.5 years old!!!!!!! OMG but hang on 41k miles later........... (and never rotated) The wear pattern is slightly strange, but my tyres still had 4mm left across most of the tread and were...

    Sold Weller 17" Deep Steels.

    These beasts are back up for sale again, after I was given slightly incorrect information from Weller Wheels :( Just so it's clear, these wheels do not fit the big T6 brakes. 17" Weller Deeps, staggered 10" rear and 8.5" fronts, running 255/65/17 rear, and 235/60/17 fronts, both rated 106 and...

    18” Tyre recommendations

    Ok so just checking my maths and research are correct. From the VW brochure the tyres that come with the 18" Sportlines are 235 / 50. From the VW configurator the 17" Tyres are 215 / 60 If I go ahead with 255 /45 GoodYears I get a difference in total wheel n Tyre diameter. VW 17" & 216 /60 =...

    Am I Being Thick?

    Another factor is that the larger diameter will reduce the acceleration, so more right foot will be required when pulling away.

    Its At This Moment.....

    ...SUV (0-60 6.1secs) I am wondering whether I will miss the Pirelli P Zero's in summer???? I would like to buy some Volvo 18" wheels and fit 235/60/18's All-Seasons; but the volvo wheels are damned expensive as well. Maybe get some 245/45/20 Michelins, then put the Pirellis back on, if the...

    Filling the wheel arch ....

    I think many of us have had similar thoughts at one time or another; for what its worth Upgrading your suspension to B14 would give you much more than just aesthetics; and you can lower it bit or a lot or in-between; or change your mind regularly You might be able to sell your claytons, and buy...

    Am I Being Thick?

    That is a huge difference What size tyres are you now running? I run 235/60/17 which are around 3.5% larger rolling radius; so roughly speaking when my van say I'm getting 30mpg, it's actually 31mpg - all other things being equal. The biggest tyres people run on this forum (mostly) are...

    Sold Monster Steel Wheels

    This is something that doesn't come up for sale very often, but I have just purchased a set of 17" Weller deep steels. To my disappointment they do not fit the big brakes of my T32. I don't know why, because I've run 17s several times with no issues. It also says nothing on the Weller website...

    All-Season Tyre recommendations

    Hi, newbie here so please forgive if I have missed an earlier response on this - I have searched the forum. I have 18" wolfrace Eurosport aero's fitted which came from the camper conversion company with budget sports tyres. The tyres are wearing fast and are useless on grass/mud/snow. I'm...

    Issue with ACC and lowering?

    I have both ACC and DCC, but as soon as I got the Vel I fitted 25mm wheels spacers, and slightly larger tyres from 235/55/17 to 235/60/17 because It looked so under rubbered. It made a massive difference to the stance of the vehicle; plus I got the tyres of my choice. I must the handling and...
