16" VW Clayton alloys on T32 6.1??? I've cocked up 🤦‍♂️

[jim58]

We have a 2022 t6.1 T32, bought it towards the end of last summer, without doing my research I bought a set of very low mileage Clayton's from a T30 as winter wheels

When I went to fit them them I found they wouldn't clear the front brake caliper,

I've been told that they should fit with a 5 mm wheel spacer, anybody been as stupid as me and dealt with this issue in the past??

I'm quite happy to buy some wheel spacers if it will solve the problem.

Who told you that a 5mm spacer will work?

A guy that deals with refurbing alloys for a living, I don't know anything about the dude or his experience in the game

They won’t fit with 340mm brakes.

Well he is talking rubbish. They wont fit.
