What offset are the wheels dubdub ?
Hum? no idea im afraid, i had the suspension, wheels and tyres fitted by VisionTech Automotive in Colchester, they told me they had a deal with Bola and had their own offset. The face of the wheels are much further out than the standard Highline wheels were but i dont have any technical details sorry
Someone may have a set forsale if you put a 'wanted' notice up in thread?.
Hi, Merseyspeed just quoted me 360.00 to supply and fit H&R springs lowering by 50mm - this to take into account I will be fitting 20” Fondmetal Alloys – with 275 / 35 / 20’S Toyo Tyres.
just waiting for a slot to get it done. I hope it's the right mix, Wheelbase in Chadderton confirmed the wheels are load rated for T32 and the tyre size was also advised by them.
I'll post some before and after pics soon as fitted, and post some feedback on the Change in ride and any adverse issues.... god I hope not....

Just to confirm Merseyspeed have quoted these for you?
Oh dear oh dear, not again.
102 is not load rated for a T32. A tyre load rating of 100 = 800kg. Each additional digit equals a further 25kg, therefore a 102 tyre equates to a load rating of 850kg. In a T32 you require a 103 tyre for 875kg as the axle corner weight is 860kg. No tyre manufacturer makes a 20" tyre with the right load rating for a T32.
Up to you what you do however. If Merseyspeed are telling you "it's ok" they are wrong. There are many many posts on here detailing this, hence why it is so hard to get larger wheels for a T32.

Sorry, just re-read my post and it is ambiguous. What I mean is you can't get a 35 sidewall in a 20" that is load rated. This is best size tyre for the 20" rim, as @YESBOY points out correctly you can get a 40 sidewall, but this then makes your wheel oversized (still within "tolerance") but there will be a bigger margin of error on your speedo. If you are going for 20's then as per Yesboy's post there are two tyres you can run.
You can however get a 21" with a 35 sidewall that is load rated...........mmmmmm 21's!!!
@Dannywilds
Are you running 275s with an 8j rim? Do you get any issues as I'm thinking 265/40/20s for my 8.5j's on the front?

Blimey, seem to have started something here.... and to be honest I've still no idea what's right or wrong.
Wheelbase suggested the tyre size, not Merseyspeed, M'speed didn't question it.
I will never be loading anywhere near 800 kgs unless my 2 Labradors and 2 Beagles break into the food bin en masse, so I shall see how it goes, and if it's wrong I'll have to change it.....
Report to follow when sorted. Tks Chaps.

I'm a newbie to camping and have just recently had a t6 converted, now I've got the inside sorted i want to crack on with the outside , which leads me on to alloys.
Which ones do you all recommend? I've heard 20"s can cause problems, is this true? do i stump up a bit more for genuine sportlines or look elsewhere? any help would be massively appreciated.
cheers!
