Yes…. I did the same thing with a previous set of banded steels and the 9.5” rear measured at least 10”!

Being the devil's advocate, doesn't the fact he needed to fit spacers to make them look perfect suggest they do need a 'rework'. ie need to fit a spacer to the rear to match the front, or need to increase the front offset to match the rear?
It's all a matter of taste but I think the rear is better without the spacer, but the front pokes too much, so the pair doesn't look balanced.
Also as a company I would have thought it will be more profitable to sell wheels that match all transporters rather than ones that wont fit on low vans?
Can I just say I didn’t ‘need’ to fit spacers…. it was my personal choice. I prefer the look of a bit more ‘poke’ rather than ‘tuck’. The fact is that the standard Transporter fitment has the rear wheels further in under the rear wing…. or at least that is how it appears. That’s why a lot of people running the same width wheels all round choose to run spacers on the rear. So it’s got nothing to do with this particular wheel.
It can be sorted. Anyone else think the same??
Yes, a dedicated STL thread would be fab
Rotiform STL
Anyone running these? Been my local wheel place and they had them on display. They were doing good deals on team dynamics and momo but I like the look of the rotiforms as the OZ rally raids are on back order. Wonder what other Rotiform 18in load rated wheels there is to choose from...
Any chance of moving the Rotiform STL posts from here to there please @BuilderJay ?Rotiform STL

Picked these back up yesterday, away on holiday tomorrow for a week so I've got to wait to next weekend to get the tyres on :-(
Can't wait

I hope the wheels see more use than the squat rackfancy dumbbells!
who banded them for you??
.I bought them second hand off eBay, they are JBW pepper pots banded by duchy I believe.
Fronts on, must say they completely change the look of the van
On to the rears tomorrow !
On to the rears tomorrow !
All done, love them make the van look totally different. Just away to get the tracking checked.
Any takers on what the general consensus is on tyre pressures for banded wheels?
Cheers Lee
I’m running 235/50/18 and I go off what the label says in the van door…. 42 or 44 on the fronts and 36 on the rears.
