That looks mint @tifflepops

Have you raised it? How do you get along with the Coopers for road noise and feul efficiency etc?

Cheers

Standard suspension. Gonna stick some 30mm savage spacers I think.

37mpg combined + 10% ish with increased diameter of wheels.

Road noise I dunno it's fine. Don't think they're any noiser it's a van at the end of the day.

Tiff
 
Cheers @Lukavell the van looks great! Think I'm going to go with the BFGs they look mint

Thanks. I've got standard Caravelle suspension, 20mm lower, but fitting some Koni shocks and T32 springs soon which should give me a decent lift. I've also got 25mm Front and 35mm rear spacers on. I would not get 35mm again as the interior door trim rubs on the tyre when opening the door, stick to 30mm max. I'll probably change mine eventually.

Could someone please recommend what size BFG to go for on either a 16" steel banded to 8.5" or an 18" Amarok steel banded to the same width?

Finally decided on brand of tyres (I think!) But now can't decide which wheels to fit them too!

If you fancy 18" wheels with AT tyres, I would strongly recommend switching to General Grabber AT3 235/55/18
 
Hi, ordered two sets of AT tires (GGAT3 and Pirelli AT+) as was not sure which one to get after a few hours trying both sets finally decided to stick with Pirelli Scorpion AT+ 235/65 R17 and black modular steels from tyresdirectuk. Already done 1500m and very pleased (just a bit of noise increase), great grip on vet road that was my main criteria. The ride got softer, not sure if it's tires or low pressure (35PSI). Driving to the Alps on Monday will report on the long motorway and snow (hopefully) performance.

Any photos of them on?

This would be my choice on 17" but 225/65/17 size; we have the Pirelli Scorpion AT+ on 20" for our Amarok they are really good; just not available in my choice of 18" sizes for a T6.
Look forward to hearing how they perform, and some Pics:thumbsup:
 
Those are cracking...
What tyre size are you using?
I think I'll order those but may stick to the 18" just so I can keep my tyre choice that I use now.
Are you lowered or using spacers?

Yes lowered by 30mm. The offset on the wheels are ET35 so no spacers required.
