Thanks I'll look into sourcing a set I think.
50mm Eibach with 275/40/20. 8j offset no rubbing and no cloncking. PERFECT

No regrets on the b14's they have significantly improved the ride and handling. They are set up about 10mm on the front and 15mm on the rear as I need to retain practicallity for getting onto site.
I really like the look of the 19 inch wheels, if yours is a T32 you will need slightly lager tyres I've got 255/45/19 to get the load rating otherwise 255/40/19 would be more true to the overall diameter, however even with my size increase it's only 3% which essentially takes out any buffer with the speedo reading under.
Overall I'm very pleased with the ride and appearance.

What size rims do you think they are, and how much you reckon it's lowered?

Hi, has anyone fitted 18" Springfield alloys on a T32?
Would love to get a set to upgrade the devonports, but I've heard there is a load rating issue (only good to a T30)
Do I need to worry about this since my kombi is never loaded to the max and I only tow a trailer tent.
VW lowered the kombi 30mm this week and loving it. I've got the bug now.
Cheers.

I was told they were only rated for the T30 by the dealer. If you were involved in an accident and the load rating was incorrect the insurance company wouldn't be very happy. They will go on what the van could be loaded with legally.

Didn't think of that, thanks. Guess I'll be looking at other 18's.
Blackberry's best!
I have 18" springfields fitted to my caravelle which is t32 which was ordered from factory ?
I have spoken to the dealer ,sales and parts ,neither knew if the Springfield or palmerston would be ok for a T32 .
When I said in the brochure it says not available for a T32 he said he wouldn't sell me them .
I said it says not available ,not suitable ,he said same thing .
So I have tried all over to find out the weight rating of either wheel ,but still no closer .The palmerston don't have a weight stamp on them .
Does anybody have any info .
