30mm Spacers with Devonports?

[55tc]

I am collecting a T6.1 on Friday and taking it to have 50mm lowering springs fitted on the way home. I want to run it on the 17” Devonports for now so I have ordered some hubcentric 30mm spacers to go on. I've seen a couple of threads on this but can’t seem to open the images. Has anyone got spacers on there Devonports? If so any pictures (or advice!) would be appreciated!
TIA

I am trying to spell the wheel name correctly but it will not let me

Devonport is correct.

I ran 30mm on the rear with my Devonports, definitely some pics of mine on here somewhere.

Have you seen the images in these posts:

I have 215 Devonports with 30mm spacers on the back and 20 or 25 on the front.

I’ve got 20mm on the front of my Devonports and 25mm on the back which look spot on to me. Looking at the rear you could get away with 30mm and still look ok, but I think 30 on the front would be a bit too much unless you’re maybe putting ATs on and want that sticking out sort of look.

I’ve got 15mm front and 25 rear

Thanks Paul
Is that 50mm lowered?

 

[T6Paul]

It’s probably more like 60mm

I had my Koni's Shocks + 50mm H&R Sport Springs + 20mm / 25mm H&R Hubcentric Spacers fitted today. All kit supplied by Steve @CRS Performance. The install was undertaken by a local garage who found the install relatively easy.

I'm incredibly pleased with the outcome . I now have a firm, car like pliant ride. No longer do I dread tight corners, roundabouts etc. I'm glad I opted for Sports Shocks, and not springs alone (based on various sourced of feedback in here). The van is particularly composed at higher speeds and I can actually enjoy the twisties. Diving under breaking has also banished. I also notice a significant decrease in road noise. I was originally going to go with a 40mm drop as I'm more interested in handling rather than stance. I own a T32 so Steve @ CRS advised that 50mm would be prime given the higher load capacity / heavier van. He was spot on ...

The spacers have allowed an OEM look with the Devonports but equally filled out the arches and given her a beefier' stance. Some before and after pics....

Contemplating 19's or 20's down then line but slightly weary that they may comprise the current, excellent ride quality. Shall run with the spacers for a solid test period first.

Thanks to the many T6 forum contributors for their sharing and inspiration

Och ! How can the above be edited so that the photos are not attached ?

 

[Calsonic]

Here are the photos - 50mm Springs + Koni's plus 20/25mm H&R spacers....appreciate it's not 30mm as requested but hopefully still useful

I’m working through some upgrades on my 17 plate kombi - A Koni and HR Suspension is on the cards but I’ve not considered spacers - are they just cosmetic or does the slighter wider wheel base improve handling? Also running 17 Davonports and in no rush to change them ATM

Hi - I would doubt the spacers help with handling to be honest. It makes a huge difference to the stance though. I have no interest in buying any after market alloys now. Love to stealthy but beefy look and the "car like" ride is superb ! I should add that the spacers are expensive but beautifully engineered pieces of finery
