This is why I find this forum so good. Loads of views and great info.

so my choice is down 20mm on suspension, up 10mm on tyre radius. Net effect 30mm less gap on wheels arches; but only 10mm less ground clearance; add 25mm spacers; and with 235/60/17 a really good ride, and pothole proof(ish)

Like this info, as I really fancy steel route so 17" could still look good without "slamming to the floor".

I've just bought some second hand 17" VW steel wheels off a forum member. I am going to try some different colours just for fun, so second hand are ideal. Going to start with "White" i think. But 17" all the way for me

@chriscroft, looking forward to seeing your experiment

Yes mate fully adjustable from inside the van if you get a good management system. I've got a credit card sized controller on the dash that allows adjustment to 5 different preset heights or individual adjustment at each corner. Can also adjust from my phone via app either inside or outside the van.

Wow - sounds amazing. Added to the shopping list

Cost.... mmmnnn £5k for a decent system fitted.

.... aaaand off the list again
