Just be a little careful. The VW OEM spinning collar is radiused (known as ball seat) to sit nicely into the corresponding radius in the OEM wheel bolt hole. Many aftermarket bolts often have a conical/cone seat which isn't compatible with VW OEM wheels.
It doesn't have to be able to spin, fixed is fine, but you need to make sure, if using aftermarket bolts with OEM VW wheels, that the new bolts have the ball seat. Here's a pic showing the difference.
Beat me to it... Nicely put
Brilliant. Thanks a lot for your help

235/60/17 SUV's ?
235 55 18 suv
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

been sitting on the sidelines since getting my T6 at beginning of December last year, I'm converting it to a "Flexi day van" living in Cornwall I didn't want to go too low, so here it is 18" Zito's ET35 with 255x45 R18 with a 50mm Drop on H&R springs, very pleased with the comfort an quality go the ride.
Got the wheels on last night just as it was going dark. Photos from this morning after snow overnight. I’m well pleased with the Bronze against the Indium Grey.
They are 19x8.5 1Form EDT.1 with 245/45/19 Goodyear Vector 4Season Gen3 SUV tyres.
Many thanks to Oli @BognorMotors for sorting the rims out. Now just to get the STX fully lowered on my next trip to Bognor.
