16 then.
18s are a good compromise. (Comfort, looks, price,)
Around £100 per tyre for a mid range budget.

Only 16 or 20 on offer…
No idea. Collecting from Cambridge Campervans this week.
16s would highly likely be the OEM 105/107C rated commercial tyres. All the vans I see arrive at that place have factory Claytons on. I drive past it nearly every day
Can’t beat a set of ChingLings to get you through the MOT
If you aren’t bothered by looks etc, it seems a bit weird you are going for a VW in the first place
Not bothered about looks then go 16….will be more forgiving with some thick decent rubber and obviously a cheaper to replace the tyres when needed.
There can be benefits to having larger wheels however.
What he said. Take the 20's, sell them and buy a set of delivery mileage Devonports.
But do the benefits outright the costs??
Im not bothered by looks. Its a van for crying out loud.
I draw the line at bright pink with lacy net curtains and a W111TON private number plate in memory of Dale, but beyond that its function before form all the way for me.
That would be personal preference really…. I much prefer the way my van drives with it being lowered on eibach coilovers, 20 inch wheels and the bigger golf R brakes…… but that all comes at a cost to initially fit and then maintain. So I would say yes to answer your question.
Really depends on what your after in term of the drive itself and the looks. But as you say you aren’t bothered about the look then 16 inch will do the job
