245/40/20 on a 10" so has a huge stretch.
My B14's have had the rear adjusters deleted with the proper delete kit from Transporter HQ and the front is maxed out with the machined top mount. Both of these mods gave my B14s another 10-15mm drop, but bare in mind that my van is heavy with all my work kit and fully boarded out with 18mm ply, so it will naturally sit lower than any other T6 with the same mods.

It still drives the same as it did with the B14s on max drop. Stiff yes, but certainly not uncomfortable for me. The only drawback is I cannot get on some drives and speed humps are a bit of a pain because I need to go very slow.

Just noticed you are from Leicestershire, where about's?

Thanks for all the info about your tyre and suspension setup.... I’m hoping to go down the B14’s route with H&R ARB’s at some point in the not too distant future! I’m currently running 275/40/20 on -40mm H&R springs which I know Oli from Bognor Motors has said many times that they are oversize, so I’d change the fronts to 275/35/20 for the B14’s to achieve -60/70mm and to keep things practical but to close the dreaded ‘arch gaps’!

Have to say you have a stunning looking van there @Tourershine.... I’ve seen you thundering along the A47 in Leicestershire!

Oh and I’m from Birstall!;)
 
I didn't do a speed awareness course by the way, I was just educated by a nice bobby on my speed.

Actually a very nice bobby.

I have just ordered a set of black banded 18's from Duchy and I can't wait. It's been on my list for a while now.

Any advice on what tyres people are running? I usually leave my winters on as I do quite a bit of kayaking and paddle boarding so even though the van is lowered by 50mm I still need it to be practical/comfortable.

cheers

Hi Ryan
What price are Dutchy charging and what colour van is yours?
I am currently running 17’s. Can’t decide on black or grey myself, I have a white T6

As much as I hate to say this, being a big fan of Black wheels, don't do banded steels in Black. It looses the depth of the steel and they end up looking like normal steel wheels. I've tried it twice and it didn't last before moving to Chrome.

Mine is a dark blue van. I went for black after seeing Tourershines van tbh. I think I paid 825.
