19" Amarok Cantera Wheels

They only stick out a little bit, I have 245 wide tyres on mine and dead on square look to the rim. 255 wide would protect the rim more.
I have Davanti DX640 245 45 19 kerbs seem ok I’m pretty careful

ok so I’m pretty uneducated on wheels, in fact I’ve no idea!!! Lol
So my question and I’m sure there are a lot of different variables, is will a set of 19inch amaroks fit on my transporter?
I have a mate selling a set and I think they’d look awesome he thinks they will fit with the right tyres on but really I guess what I’m asking is how much will I be putting looks over ride comfort?

Awesome, thanks very much
Anyone know what size the centre caps are on these wheels? I need a set for mine.

just pop in VW I bought mine from there for about £40
I wasn’t necessarily going to put VW ones on them
I bought VW Scirrocco ones of eBay. 65mm. £12.99
straight on, same bolts; spacers will depend on tyre size, both aspect profile & Width; and your view on aesthetics. The Amarok tyres are too large in circumference (255/55/19 - I think); I would go with 255/45/19 or 235/50/19. Both are about 3.5% larger in rolling radius/ gearing.
255= 15mm front spacers/25mm-30mm rear spacers
235 = 25mm all round spacers or slightly larger on the rear.
My choice would be Michelin Cross Climates SUV 235/50/19
Michelin Tyres / All Season SUV 4x4 / Michelin CrossClimate SUV Cross Climate SUV - 235/50 R19 103W XL TL Fuel Eff.: C Wet Grip: B NoiseClass: 2 Noise: 70dB All Season - Four Season - All Weather - SUV/4x4 Tyres - 19" R19" - 235/50/19, 235/50R19
I just love All-season tyres
Goodyear Eagle LS2 255/45 R19 104 H XL, FP, AO » Oponeo.co.uk
There is also an option above, which has the advantage of being a bit wider, which will help protect the rim from kerbing damage. still All-season; and well reviewed.

These could be the right tyres for this wheel??
Had this setup on my T5 (now sold with Devonports, kept the Cantera's for the T6).
Did approximately 20k miles and still plenty of tread left - I highly recommend the Goodyear Eagle.
Using the standard 17" Devonport with 215/55/17 tyres (2010mm circumference) as a standard, the 255/45/19 come out at 2237mm meaning a gap loss/ride-height gain of 22mm and a speedo overread of 6.15%.
With 215/60/17 its 2167mm//11mm gap loss/3.13% speedo error.
Using @mmi's post, that means you could reprogram the speedo to K-number to keep it accurate (with the industry-standard underread as per factory).

Had eibach springs fitted 30mm drop
The T5.1 was a t32 which is quite high as standard, (not sure but think the t32 is higher than the t28 and t30 as standard)
Sorry but the vans been sold
