Are you a dealer wink winkThe 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
Yes I am, I’m much better priced than VW too!
Great I’m picking up my t6 from vw next week I will message you then and we can have a chat about a few things I live in lancs so need to arrange a few night down in warm cider and weak beers county
4motion?Hello everyone....been lurking in the wings for about 7 or 8 months now trawling through some great info and recommendations, thanks all. I picked up a T6 T32 model in Candy White at the back end of last summer and I'm now just about getting the van to how I want it.
Had some work done on the suspension at CRS had it carpet lined at AbsoluteT5, along with some other subtle changes all through recommendations off this great forum....now for the wheels, what a minefield!!
I've been putting it off for too long now to a point where I wasn't going to bother changing them due to the headache caused with all the things to consider.
I've finally narrowed it down to either the BBS XA (Satin Black polished face) or the AEZ Panama (Black with a polished face) both in 20"... the BBS XA has a longer lead time and as far as I can see are only suitably load rated in the 20" x 9.5 ET42 model.
The AEZ Panama as far as I can gather is suitably load rated at 20" from 8.5 to 11 in width my question is which width wheel is best suited to the T32? It has been dropped about 40mm and I'd hate to spend another load of the hard earned for them to rub every time I rode over a pebble or turned a corner......also this must have a bearing on the size of tyre you intend to fit so any expert advice on that would be much appreciated....
No mate it isn't a 4motion, I don't really intend going down the staggered route...unless someone convinces me otherwise that is
245x45x20x8.5j front
Worrying as that looks pretty normal and only .5mm difference in diameter.
Why the worry?
I have a 4MO inbound and that was the ball park sizes I was intending to use. Hoping that the setup isn't the cause of the diff issues.
Depends on the wheels and load rating. Tyres seem chunky for 8.5 from what I have read on here from the experts.
What about a 265 40 or 255 45
275/40 is really wide on an 8.5” rim. A 265/40 is better, or a 245/45 can be found with the required T32 load rating (Same overall diameter/sidewall height as 275/40) but a better width on the 8.5” rim. I would recommend the 265/40 though, it’s the best all round compromise for the 8.5” rim on T32.
I have the same offset and width wheels and they came with 275/40/20.
