The tyres are already there

Falken Wildpeak AT3WA 235/65R17 tyres
They will be fitted next week on Thursday, then there will be a few photos of the whole car.
The speedometer calibration kit should also be here by then so that I can drive to the German TÜV for approval.
About the speedometer calibration kit you mentioned before, how does it works or how you’re going to do it?
 
SuperMetal Rig 18s
Falken Wildpeak AT3s @ 235 55 18
Stock suspension (for now)
2WD 140 DSG
Wheels have lifted the van approx 30mm and boy do you feel higher.
Speedo now reads bang on.
Road noise is at least as good as the stocker 16" alloys.
Overall very happy with these wheels so far.

I bought this:
Let google translate the page, the function is explained there. For the 235/65R17 (and 255/55R18) I have chosen +5%.

However, I have not yet been to the German TÜV.

How it´s done:
 
Finally got round to a pic. Here's mine, 18" Outlands shod with 235/55 Cooper ATT's.

I've been taking it steady while I get used to the van and the tyres, but now I've done some miles in the dry and in the torrential rain I can't fault them. Grip is good in all scenarios so far, no undue noise. Hoping to try them in the snows soon.

Are they 17's ?
Yes Sir. Have been searching for them for ages, in bronze. Chilli Jam Vans managed to find me a set and it they were cheaper than the usual suspects.
I was originally looking for 18's but they have stopped producing them in 5x120.
