Inter action KARGIN 7,5x17, Thank you!
I've got other quotes coming, this was first quote I got:
"The process is: Tyres off, Acid dipped, Shotblasted, Powdercoated, Tyres on, Balanced. The price is £396.00"
Matte black
Cheers - booked in with them
Thank you for the recommendation, Carl has done a cracking job - chuffed to bits with the result
I have exactly the same wheel, colour and tyre size in an A/T on mine, difference to standard that i wondered if you have found.
1. Raises the ride height of the van by 1 inch, which IMHO is a good thing in a few different ways.
2.Required a 4 wheel tracking, as the difference before and after just in feel was very apparent.
3. Slight scrub on front wheels on the limit in turning both ways (minor)
4. Changed my actual speed from reading under to only 1mph over at 30mph
5. Spare wont fit under van so essential can of Holts tyre weld under the seat for when i don't have room for the spare in the back.
6. Very easy to see when tyre is under inflated as the tall sidewall is far more noticeable when bulging due to its height.
7. Gloss was too bling an option and matt was too dull, but satin was just perfect.
8. IMHO this tyre /wheel/colour combo looks really nice whilst retaining an understated element.

Hi Rich
I think you need to post a pic too
2. no diff in feel - but will defo be getting tracked
3. not felt any front wheel scrub on turning as yet - but thank you, duly noted will look out for
4. haven't done gps speedo yet - the www.willtheyfit.com said it would be -6.44% so 2mph under at 30mph (will do and let you know)
5. yep spare wouldn't fit - think I'm going adjust the spare wheel carrier so it will fit (see posts on here)
7. agree (imho) - think the satin finish is just perfect
8. absolutely agree (imho) really nice understated look - chuffed with the outcome
That’s interesting! Where’s it rubbing?
I see quite a few people say they get no rubbing when running 235/65/17s on vans lowered ~40mm, usually with 17x8.5j wheels with 34 offset like the Fuels or the Navis (I’ve been paying close attention because I’m planning to go for a similar setup).
What’s the width and offset of the Devonports?
I have only had them on a month and had no spare time to investigate where the rub is on the limit, I will put it to the top of my to do list
Not sure about the numbers on the Devonports, sorry.Not a mechanic or good on tools but maybe i should have added a small spacer ? I will post when i find an answer.

According to VW Transporter T6 – Devonport 7E0601025P | OEM Alloy Wheels, the Devonports are 17x7j, ET 55.
This is how the Devonports (orange) look compared to the setup I mentioned above which people have said don't rub (green):
With Devonports (orange), the tyre appears to sit closer to the van on the inside due to the narrowness of the rim. So @RichP, depending on where they are rubbing, you might be able to eliminate your rubbing by adding a wheel spacer?

Personally, I doubt it as both have a good amount of sidewall. I couldn't tell the difference when I swapped my 16in claytons to 17in devonports.
That's good to know. I guess there's actually only a difference of about 6mm in sidewall height between the two in my example.
I've seen a few vans on 16-inch wheels lately that look great.
For example, @highlandt5 on Instagram is running 16x8j GOJOS with 245/70 R16 BFGoodrich KO2 which looks fantastic IMO!
