Rear spacers

[craige101]

Hi all

I know a few people are a fan of the staggered alloy setup 8.5" Front and 10" rear

Is it OK to space the rear wheels out on a standard 8.5" rear alloy to achieve the same look

If so what size spacer would be correct

Could I have people's views on this also

I also ask this question because the conversion company will not do the 20" alloys that are included in the build in a staggered fitment

My van is a 2024 lwb T6.1

Thanks

I’ve got 8.5” wide wheels 45ET 235/55/18 tyres on my T6.1 Caravelle 4motion and wanted to fill out the rear arches somewhat, so I have just ordered some H&R 21mm rear spacers. (they come with the spacer fixing bolts on the 21mm and above size spacers)
Ordered from here:

T5 & T6 H&R HUBCENTRIC WHEEL SPACERS 15MM-45MM | The VDUB Monkeys

Pair of hubcentric spacers 15mm and 20mm are supplied as spacers only (will require longer wheel bolts) 21mm-45mm spacers are supplied with fixing kit Please allow up to 3 weeks for the spacers to be delivered, these will be delivered directly from H&R unless we are carrying stock Wider is...

There is a 4-6 week waiting time for them to arrive.

I was concerned that my Caravelle twin sliding doors might hit the tyres if I went any larger with the size of the spacer? But I’m probably being over cautious!

Do they do the spacers in black by any chance

I run 30mm rear spacers on 8.5j et53 wheels with 255 tyres on a Caravelle with no rubbing. Get the bolt on type as easier to mount wheels.

To keep the overall look similar front and back a 10 or 15mm spacer on the rear is ideal.
