Hey Guys, just bought a t6.1 panel van and started doing some bits, i have put on some 17” wheels with 235/65 r17 tyres, i love the look but i think the front needs lowering a bit to level it out. Anyone ever just lowered the front ? Is springs better for me as its a work van. TIA !
...set of tuff torque 17 inch x 8 steel wheels for my t6.1 .
I’m going to order some wild peaks to gon on them and it looks like the norm is 235/65/17.
I just saw they do them also in 225/65/17 as well, would these run ok with those wheels? I just thought they might run the speed more...
Can confirm this - although my passenger side with 245/65 tyres has a few mm clearance - drivers side was rubbing a tiny amount initially but now I've got a few k on the tyres they're clear.
What do i need to do to the carrier etc to get a 245/65/17 underneath ? We used to run 235/65/17 and with a bit of lube and brute force we could get that in, but never ever tried the larger wheel. Can someone post a link or details of whats needed ? Thank you !
In the photo they are the the 245/65 x 17 tyres that came with the wheels. I am intending to put 235/55 x 17 tyres on them though. Here in NZ they will fail a warrant of fitness (MOT in UK speak) if tyres are more than 5% bigger than standard.
I assume you have measured? My LWb shuttle with roof prep, OEM suspension and Falken Wildpeaks 235/65/17 sits at 1.94 (fully loaded and I mean FULLY loaded).
Hi after a bit of info going to change from 20s to 17 steels was going for 235/65/17 rubber on standard height suspension on a T32 van will i need spacers or not lots off info already about but conflicting
Many Thanks
Simon
With a set of 17” Davenport’s could I fit a set of BFG 225/65/17’s without any lift/modification?
Would 235/65/17 or 245/65/17’s fit on the same rims and again without a lift/modification?
Hi, I have a T6.1 and have recently gone from 205 65 16 clatons to 2356517 oz rally raids with bfgoodrich tyres. I want a usable spare to carry on a journey if I get a puncture etc. Can anyone advise if fitting a tyre with a slightly smaller diameter make a difference I.e. a 215 60 17...
your right. I went from 235/55's to 65's with a lumpyier tread pattern all on 17's. I have a 'normal' 235/65 as a spare and it is smaller (so it fits in the spare space, with a mod on the bracket). Speedo is showing maybe 4~5% under reading. I did put an extra gauge on the dash for this but...
I have 17" 235/65 on GP Steels and they are more 'bouncy' and long legged, but really nice to drive in comparison to std alloys on 235/35 17's. Speedo is just out. I was going to swapi n the summer but never did. This year we have driven to Corfu and back and two other French trips (one in...
