Sportlines and spacers.

[dave_b]

I'm putting on 25mm rear and 15mm front spacers this weekend, I'll post up some pics.

 

[dave_b]

Fitted the spacers today
25mm rear and 15mm front. Think it looks so much better than standard.

I agree.
Looks nice.
Are you lowered at all with your van?
What size tyres are on your 18s?
Any problems with rubbing on full lock at all?
That's the sort of look I want
To get on my t6.1
Thanks.

Yeah. Lowered on STX by about 40mm.
18’s on 255/45
I’m not expecting any rubbing issues.

Hi guys

I have 18”” t5.1 sprtline alloys at the moment and I’m going to order some spacer to push them out slightly, I’m lowered 50mm on Raceline springs!
What’s the best withe to go for? 25 rear and 10 fronts, I haven’t a clue
Hopefully someone has some experience of this

Cheers guys

Look at Dave B's Van
That should give you an idea.
I'm looking to lower by 40mm and fit spacers.
Either the same as Dave or maybe nock the 5mm off front and 5mm off back.

 

[dave_b]

25mm rear and 15mm front keeps the top of the 255/45/18 tyres just inside the wheel arch.

 

[t6blo]

Yeah. Lowered on STX by about 40mm.
18’s on 255/45
I’m not expecting any rubbing issues.

How are you finding the STXs?
Any knocking or banging?

 

[dave_b]

They are very good. A firm ride, but no knocking or banging.

I’m a little lower and it is indeed firm - the camper kitchen reminds me constantly
Considering lifting it a little but the look of yours makes we wonder if it’ll be a waste of time (you sit a little higher than mine)

 

[dave_b]

I don’t have any load in my Van.
I dont find it too firm and it is not crashy.

I've just installed rear wheel spacers and am now thinking the fronts need some help to balance things a bit.
So I'm looking for pics of T6's on coilovers, with front /rear spacers, ideally on 18" wheels, but happy to see any pics of lowered vans with wheel spacers.

Hey Dave..
Looking at 25mm for the rear of mine. Are the bolt through ones totally fine. I see in that size you can also get bolt on then bolt the wheel to that.. which ones did you get and are you happy with them?

Hi guys,
please remember that usually allowable difference in wheel track is 2% tolerance comparing to the factory ET wheels. It means you should use max 2x15mm spacers (+30mm) when default track width is e.g. ~1500mm

I plan to use 12mm front and 15mm rear on my T6.1 with factory Teresina 18" wheels.
