The colour will be the nuts!!
pretty sure the outside lip always stays the same position if duchy makes them. @Tourershine can confirm. I’ve had a set of 9.5s I even wanted 10s in Amarok but I was talked out of them luckily because the 9.5 was still to much for me personally and had to get rid.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not being a party pooper and I’m all for wide girls but just checking no one else makes the mistake I’ve made
you might have a different look or purpose though. I have low issues
Im not sure about the 19" RRs because Ducky puts 2 bands in those. However the 18 Amaroks only have 1 band, one of the reasons they are cheaper. So a 9.5" wheel rim would be 0.5" further out than a 9" wheel.The colour will be the nuts!!

I’ve got smoked chrome in 8.5 & 9, previously I had 9&9.5, now I’m lower 8.5 is deffo best on the front, but I did prefer the 9.5” rear to the 9” I have now, a deeper dish looks good! Jamie has a set of Amaroks already paid for and they will deffo be wider rears again!
What’s happening with the RR’s, I’m surprised no one has asked!!

Ahh thanks!!
Naa you won’t have an issue, I think @Jayjmac had issue as he is on air and super low, I’m on SoLow max height but carry a fair bit of weight, the 9.5’s never rubbed on the rear at all, and I could go a fair bit lower before issues, @Tourershine is lower than me and run 9.5’s no issues. My issues were with the 9” fronts, but with full winter 255 45’s there still wasn’t much rubbing, just more so than with the 8.5’s I have now.
100% I will go 9.5 rears again.
Inhad my last set refurbished prior to selling them, my mate done them in a Matt black undercoat with BMW Ferric grey and they came out amazing, I will more than likely have them like this on my other set.
Don’t think you will have an issue selling the RR’s!

It's the hub face and rear lip of the wheel that stays in the same place and the outer lip moves in or out, depending on your widths. 9.5s will fit, but they are close to the edge.
10s fit on RRs but I can say they don't on 17s, but boy do they look cool hanging out the rear arches.
You’ll be fine like the thread said. I didn’t know how low you were. I didn’t really have issues on the 9.5 but I had to stretch the tyre loads to get it in.
RRs are different. They fit totally different in my opinion.
sorry to put the willys up you!! It wasn’t meant like that I just didn’t know how low we were talking.

Yeah they looked awesome on yours, they seemed to tuck right in too! Proper magazine like the pics I’ve seen! Static vs air and throw in tyre choices and it’s all different!
I’m pretty sure you won’t have any issues with 9.5” on the rears mate.... that’s what I’m running with 255/45 tyres and no issues at all. The sliding door runs close to touching, but it does clear (just).
I’m a bit late to the conversation but I’m thinking 18s now my rrs look great but in my opinion if I go with the t6 spoilers it doesn’t look as good as the 18s.
If you’re gonna go with the (maybe 9”) on the front, I’d go with the 235’s.... based on the fact that that’s what @Wilmur is running with SoLows, no issues and looks spot on!
I’m on the 255’s Goodyear Eagle F1’s and I love ‘em!
Why not buy these from a fellow Banded Brother @matt_r.... they’re more or less brand new Michelin’s!?

Thank you. Whilst I agree they're a good price, they simply too much tyre.
I don't want a 55 profile. I've had a look back through the thread just now too and see those very tyres were removed from Duchy banded amoroks (9s) as 235/55 was catching the door card to the point it wouldn't open fully.

I’m sure I’m right in saying that that was a problem for @matt_r because he has a Caravelle (or Caravelle door cards at least). I’m sure I’m also right in saying that because your van is lower than Matt’s, the tyres will ‘tuck’ more and you wouldn’t have that problem?
No worries, it was just a thought/suggestion to help both you brothers out.
I'll get some photos to show poke etc of my setup tomorrow. Hopefully help you out
