Welcome to the world of wheels, tyres and offset. Offset is key.Sorry to jump in. I ordered a new T6.1 T32 Kombi in December 2020 and have finally been given a delivery date of mid-November this year. Very excited now but need to sort out the suspension and wheels. I'd like to go for 50mm lowering and for the wheels it's got to be Judd 20" T311R in gloss black but I really don't understand wheel offsets. I love the concave design of the wheel but can I get away with 10.5" on the rear and 9.5" on the front?
You wont be disappointed with the way these wheels look. I bought them off Jayjmac and had them fitted at the same time as my new suspension which dropped it around 60mm. The specs are 9 et38 and 10.5 et43, and I am using the tyres that came with the wheels which have a 35% profile, 235mm and 255mm respectively. There has been no rubbing at all although the tyres are not load rated. Will have to go to a 40% profile for that. Depending where you are, I recommend speaking to Steve at CRS performance in Cannock. A friend has the 6.1 on B14s and rates my T6 dropped on KW STX's an all round improved ride.Sorry to jump in.

Thanks Booshan, I love the look of this wheel, particularly the concave design on the wider rim, but the question of offsets still confuses me. Do you know whether a 9.5" would work on the front to try to retain as much of the concave style as possible?You wont be disappointed with the way these wheels look.

I would have thought that for a 9.5 on the front you would want an ET45, or thereabouts. Technically it might work; Oli @BognorMotors is probably your man for a more accurate answer.Thanks Booshan, I love the look of this wheel, particularly the concave design on the wider rim, but the question of offsets still confuses me.

Ok, thanks but this raises another question (you can tell I don't understand this stuff... yet). If the wheel is wider and has a deeper concave profile which leaves the hub at a steeper spoke angle does it not clear the calliper more quickly than a flatter profile? Have you goy 9.5's all round? Do you have any long shots of the van which show the way the 9.5's look?I would have thought that for a 9.5 on the front you would want an ET45, or thereabouts.

I'd be conscious of calliper clearance - this is a 9.5 ET40 on the rear, and there's not a whole lot of room to spare

A flatter profile allows the wheel to have a deeper centre bore, thereby giving more calliper clearance. As seen on the 9, again with ET40Ok, thanks but this raises another question (you can tell I don't understand this stuff... yet).

Hi Oli, thanks very much for your input, so I'm thinking with a T32 I'm restricted to 9" on the front. With say 50mm lowering would you then go 9.5" or 10.5" on the rear? Can I get away with 275/40 R20 tyres?9.5 works on the front only with the smaller callipers.
Thanks so much for your helpful advice, it really is a minefield. Great photos, the van looks stunning on these wheels. Just about the perfect ride height for my tastes too, how low have you gone?A flatter profile allows the wheel to have a deeper centre bore, thereby giving more calliper clearance.

We go 9 on the front and 10.5 on the rear. And I would go 275/35 for up to T30 and 265/40 for T32. We stay away from the 275/40Hi Oli, thanks very much for your input, so I'm thinking with a T32 I'm restricted to 9" on the front. With say 50mm lowering would you then go 9.5" or 10.5" on the rear?

Thanks. I think I’m about 375-380mm arch to wheel centreThanks so much for your helpful advice, it really is a minefield. Great photos, the van looks stunning on these wheels. Just about the perfect ride height for my tastes too, how low have you gone?
This is all brilliant, thanks again. I'll get in touch to discuss prices and tyre options once I have a confirmed delivery date.We go 9 on the front and 10.5 on the rear. And I would go 275/35 for up to T30 and 265/40 for T32. We stay away from the 275/40

Many thanks, I see that it fits but it's very close. I can see how a 275 tyre might be a problem.Here is a pic of the clearance 10.5..View attachment 132419
