Looks a good price for premium brand winters in your size and load rating plus there's money off for black Friday.
Thanks for the heads up
Pictures when they’re fully fitted on the van?
Will do...but I don't think it will be prettyPictures when they’re fully fitted on the van?
I'm used to the 20's on rubber bands and slammed 75-80mm. Think the OEM 16's may look a bit odd....but rather look odd and be safer than not even making it off my drive.
I have some H&R spacers on so hopefully they will sit not to bad in the arches.
That's a bloody good price, if I could get them for that price in my size and load rating I'd be getting some too.
Looks a bit silly I think on STD wheels and that low but the grip I had last Thursday in the snow and ice up here were a phenomenol difference.Pictures when they’re fully fitted on the van?
Very happy with the grip.
I think it looks great! It’s got to be practical/functional where you live!
Am I missing something but what looks silly in that pic? All looks very well set up to me.
I live about 18 mile west of Aberdeen....in the Shire.I think it looks great! It’s got to be practical/functional where you live!
I've got 15mm on the front and 25mm on the rear for my 20"s ET 48 to sit 3mm sub flush in the arches. I've left them on for these wheels but it could do with the extra poke l. Just don't want to spend more pennies on spacers.
That'll do the trick.
Ah! I go for functional and comfortable (then again, I tow a large caravan too!) Your van looks beautifully balanced
I am glad you posted this picture, I think it looks more than fine. I am doing the same thing next week, taking my 20's off and putting the 16 inch Clayton's back on with winter tyres. Mine is also lowered so if looks as good as yours I will be happy!
Would you not go 17s instead?
I already have a set of unused (well once) 16inch Clayton's + I managed to get a set of nearly new winter tyres for a couple of hundred quid so cost wise it is a no brainer. The Mrs keeps complaining about the amount of money I spend on the van, apparently no man requires multiple sets of wheels or multiple awnings and painted brake callipers are definitely not an essential according to her! I went cheap and bought her a sofa with the change.
Oh, I am relieved to hear you are getting the same grief I’m getting! I literally just flagged my interest in (yet) another set of winter wheels with tyres! I might need to sell some soon!!!
Super wide tyres not so good in snow as they spread the weight across a wider area.
Why not get some GP steels and stick winters on them? If you have a curbing incident no big deal. There is an ebay seller advertising them at 180 for 4, new take offs.
