T32 Wheel Options.

- Start date
Welcome to the wonderful world of the transporter!
There are some cracking wheels available for T32 now, the selection has got bigger and bigger over the last year or so. If you’re after 20s take a look at Inovit or Velare for some great choices, there are many others too. Other sizes are also well catered for. Plenty of suspension options too if you do want to lower it. You just need to speak to the right people, like me!

Check out Leighton van ........personally, I love em!!!!
If you're going to carry a tonne or thereabouts in the back, it's better. Otherwise it's not.
Given that a T30 can carry over 900KG of load, (exact figure depends on spec) it's unlikely that you'd be overloaded with tools and cable, a T32 can obviously carry 200KG more but will ride harsher when less heavily loaded, horses for courses!
I'm not knocking T32 but don't rule out other options unless you know they won't be able to carry what you need. I know a few electricians and none carry near a tonne but depends on your type of work I suppose.

Just got the lv2! Couldn't agree more customer care was a*!
I got a twin slider to convert them realised it was not as easy to convert. However, with a bit of thought you can use the twin slider to help the layout. I have my 12v control panel and 240 consumer unit in there and it’s easy to access gas and water.

I did all the electrics and insulation myself.

Yes it’s a T32.
There’s no real pluses to a twin slider except the ease of access for gas/water/electrics and the ability to run the electrics under the step.
Hi what wheels are they
Hi
If I’m honest I can’t remember where I got them, don’t have them anymore as I found out they weren’t load rated for T32
I’m just buying a t6 32 it’s a bloody nightmare with wheels etc I do like the aftermarket genuine 20 inch vw wheels but I think you can’t fit them on a 32
As far as I know the wheels are rated for a T32, but VW won't fit them due to the fact that there are no tyres that are weight rated in the correct sizes.
The wheels are suitably load rated, assuming that you're looking at the 20" SuperMetal wheels that VW offer, but as @Skyliner33 has said, they don't offer a load rated tyre. You just need to find someone else to sell you the wheels who will use a 265/40 tyre which is suitably load rated and perfect for the T32.
If only there was someone on this forum who is a SuperMetal dealer
Ok my mind is a bit blown reading all these posts.
Are 103xl (875kg) correct load rating for a t32 (I thought was 860kg) or am I confused?

Yes. The minimum required load rating for wheels and tyres is 860kg, but anything over that is fine. 102 tyres are 850kg, so too low, hence 103 being the minimum for T32.
Thanks for that. I just had a minor panic as I’ve just put 103y on and it’s got it’s MOT tomorrow.
Panic over.
