255/45 18

Swapped the wheels over from my t5 today to see what they looked like. Think yhe banded steels are staying they fill the arches so much better than the alloys

Get some pics up then
Glad you got the tyre sorted, what size you gone for?

Finally got my new chrome GP’s on…. only had them on for a day, but first impressions are really, really good. The ride is very comfortable and quiet on the Michelin Cross Climate 2 tyres (235/55/17). Something that Mr @Tourershine has mentioned in the past…. the ‘pick-up’ seems much better on these compared to the 18” banded Amarok’s…. maybe down to a bit less weight in the wheels?

Anyway, please ignore how dirty my van is on the new setup (not had chance to clean it yet)!

Like those Gp's, I prefer a polished look

Awesome, looking good
Classic wheel in the right colour. I love the dish you get on the rear on these.
Prefer them to the amaroks....

You know I'm a huge fan of the GPs.

Finally got these 20" Navis Holey back on after a colour change to my signature Chrome.

What tyre sizes are you recommending?

Something most won’t want to run!! 225/40 front and 235/40 rear

Do the GPs have a deeper dish than the Amaroks? Are the GPs 8 and 8.5J same as the Amaroks?

The GP’s are 9” and 9.5”…. I love them both, but they’re two different styles in that the GP dishes out a bit more in the centre of the wheel.

It's not just to do with the finished width.
The GP"s start off narrower and a higher ET so can have a wider/bigger band put in but still end up in a similar place relative to the arch (ie. not poke) as the amaroks.

Those GP’s look perfect.
What is your suspension set up?

Thanks @T6Paul

My suspension setup is 80mm down on H&R coilovers, supplied and fitted by @CRS Performance

These look ‘dishy’ to me!

Fantastic

Hows the ride on these compared to your previous wheels?

To be fair I only got them fitted on Thursday and drove to and from work on Friday, but first impressions are really good…. comfortable, quiet and a lovely smooth drive.

Time for a subtle change, dynamic gloss centre caps and some duchy chromes.

Thanks @johnmacster
