aaaah you're still running Banded Amaroks huh??Yeah there’s not much in it at all…. the sidewall on the 235 is slightly taller, but you’re talking millimetres!
Personally I always thought the 255 looked a little too big on my front banded Amarok’s (8.5” wide), but sat much better on the rears (9.5” wide) with a slight ‘stretch’. That’s why I went down to the 235 on my current setup (9.0” wide).
Hope that helps!
No mate, I’m now running 18” Rotiform STL
They’ve been on for just over a year now fella and it’s what I’m sticking with!nice!
ha, didn't think i'd kept up...
Are they 9” ET30 all round?
@t6blo yes mate, 9” and ET30 all round. I’ve fitted 21mm H&R spacers to the rear.Sorry, I know we‘re in the banded steelies thread but I love those STLs @T6ARF
@Leemondo12 my van is running STXs and they’re wound all the way down at the front and have adjuster deletes at the back - currently on 19s with 245/45 tyres.

Considering dropping the wheel size to 18” and lifting the front slightly so they’re damping abit more and refitting rear adjusters.
How low do you think it’s gone with rear adjuster delete? Has it made any difference to the ride quality?Sorry, I know we‘re in the banded steelies thread but I love those STLs @T6ARF

Cheers fella!Looks awesome pal
The Powerflex adjuster deletes from Transporter HQ have lowered the rear about another 20-25mm.
If I was buying suspension again I would go for So-Low NSL.
The STX front is wound right down which means the coilover is not working effectively - I would like to still maintain the lowness I have currently but not be on the bottom of the adjuster for comfort reasons.
oow Rotiform STL!! nice
how do you find them to your steelies? .. was looking at the 20" silver ones with THQ but they were waiting on Rotiform to rework the alloy for Transporters.. this was so long ago got bored and bought some Rotiform DTMs
I love ‘em! I’ve had two sets of banded steels which I really enjoyed, but these are my favourites.oow Rotiform STL!! nice
Do. you know if the 18" are being reworked for Transporters as well?oow Rotiform STL!! nice
There was talk they had to machine the silver 20” ones as stuck out quite a bit at the front and has been featured on their transporter at shows.. THQ said they were waiting for them to be tested / reworked so would fit.. all gone very quiet and no updates from THQ! there was never any mention about the 18”
I just had a look on the Rotiform site. Width and offset are the same for 18 and 20 wheels so that would make them both stick out the same amount. Puzzling.
Ya this is what put me off as there are the black version in 18/20"? THQ on instagram mentioned they were developing a transporter spec version which is confusing as they are already available (not in the silver mind) last email from Mike at THQ "We are still in development with these. We are hoping stock will be available in 8-12 weeks"
Interesting, wonder that the Transporter fitment will be? If they just increase the offset then the rears will be too far in. When was the 8-12 weeks starting from. Although I never believe THQ timescales anymore. I would be very interested in silver. Buying black to powder coat makes them expensive.
That was a couple of week ago the reply.. I believe it was just the fronts they had to modify? Could be wrong.. all I know is whatever they did for the wheelpros_Europe transporter looks spot on and in silver..
