That's what 25mm rears would give you.
Tyre is a 255/45/19

And the fronts, any spacers ?

No standard fronts. I have 15mm available but think it would be too much.

Maybe a 5mm would work well possibly?

Thanks for that, but can you see any of the splash / stone guard that would be better painted rather than left standard black?

 

[moomin-j]

I'll take a pic in the morning for you.

@Minimucks did you manage to do your best David Bailey impression and snap some photos for me?

Any better ?

Much better, cheers.
It looks like to me that the rear stone / splash guard is not very visible behind the 340mm disc.
That could save me a bit of money, not having to get them colour coded.

Do teamflys pics show you what you want to see?
Do you still want me to take a pic?

I think @teamfly's photos cover what I need to see or not see as it now looks like!
Mucho thanks for the offer anyway.

Waiting for my centre caps to arrive

 

[t6blo]

Centre caps arrived. They rattle in the hole
I had exact same issue with the last set I bought for the Canteras I had previously.

These are 65mm but are apparently the correct VW part number. The Cantera hole is 67mm ish I reckon.
If I’d have bought genuine ones they would obviously have fit perfectly - so I can only think these chinglish knock offs over time have mutated with the 65mm ones of a different part number?

Anyway, used a couple of blobs of clear silicone on the clips and they’re snug now.

Thanks for your reply I found the same today when I looked.
I’m looking for 103 just because it’s a camper and I tow so quite a bit of weight.

@t6blo I bought these off amazon Genuine VW Alloy Wheel Centre Cap Satin Black High Chrome 65mm - 3B7601171XRW: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike

I didn't realise they came from China until after I bought them The price seems to have changed, I paid £10 but I thought its was per centre cap, so I paid £40 plus shipping to France. A box of 16 was delivered today!! They claim to be original but I'm sure they aren't, but they fit great with a positive click with no rattle. And I have plenty of spares.

Ordered T32 4motion due to be delivered April. Also been offered a set of Canterras that are brand new from the Vw dealer that where removed from a new Amarok. Reading through the posts earlier, it seems like there not a good choice for my van. Need all season tyres if I go with the Amarok alloys as it’s being used as my works van. Also it’s got the tyre pressure monitors fitted as an option so will the different size wheels affect the calibration. Any advice appreciated thanks

 

[Dave F]

What sort of money is he asking for them ?
I think after all the above help I’m going to go for the 245/45 vector SUV.

 

[SteH]

They said £800 with the tyres that fit the Amarok.

 

[Dave F]

That’s a good price and you can sell the tyres.
i just striped the Amarok tyres off my wheels on Saturday and they sold in 1day for £350.
I couldn’t comment on the fitting to your new van but I’m sure you will get the answers.
If you don’t won’t the wheels I’m sure a member would love to take them off your hands.

@SteH I have 19s on my 6.1 with direct TPMS. You need to have a set of TMPS valves fitted on the Cantera alloys. I ordered a set of TMPS valves I think they were around £40 each. Or if you don't plan on using the original wheels you can get the TPMS valves swapped.

You'll have various wheel / tyre options available on your media system, I just use the 18" variant as its the closest pressure I was recommend to use. Once you've driven a short distance the van will pick up the new sensors and display the pressure value.
