And just a heads up, my van came with the HESS wheel carrier, it was a tight squeeze to fit a part worn 2356517 General grabber in there, anything bigger your have to deflate to fit
In a nutshell, they won't rub and the speedo won't under read!
You can certainly get away with 245/65 but they may rub, especially if lowered (that's a another subject...).
Depending on wheel spec you could probably make a 235 rub to be fair but most transporter specific wheels seem to be...
Damn I just saw this response. I'm liking the way these wheels look and I've got the same van as yours T30 T6.1.
Will the wheels fit without spacers on standard 235/55/r17 tyres?
Wheels: Rogue Alloys LCX 17” Satin Black
Tyres: Falken Wildpeak 235/65 r17
Suspension: Standard (T32) suspension
Next step is to plan a trip to @CRS Performance hopefully for a bit of added comfort and handling
What wheels? The offset will be why or if your tyres rub.
I've got 245/65 R17 wheels on 8x17 et35 wheels, only had the tiniest bit of rubbing on the rear arch at the back on one side until a few hundred miles in. Ride height is about 20mm down from a std van.
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).
I’m considering the switch from low on 20s (255/35) to slightly low on 17s.
I have similar concerns re: the actual performance of tyres like the Falken Wildpeak AT3WA. It has the look but my head says Michelin CrossClimate 2 SUV (235/6517). These seems to grip better for most conditions and...
