20” to 17” Fuel Zephyr - Clearance/Fitment

[Jamiedh]

I’ve decided I’d like to swap out my 20” wheels for 17” but have concerns over clearance/fitment, based on how low my van sits. Current wheels:

Front:
20” x 9”
ET35
275/35/20

Rear:
20” x 10.5”
ET42
275/35/20

I’d like Fuel Zephyrs:

17” x 8.5”
ET34
235/65/17 (Falken Wildpeak)

I don’t actuallly know how much lower than standard my van is, but would guess 90mm. Maybe even 100m on the rear.

Can anyone please offer thoughts re. clearance? Thanks.

My gut feeling is you will be ok at 235/65/17. And Im sure I read somewhere here another member with a 90mm drop was having no issues with a similar setup. Assume its a fully loaded camper, so no more load.

Appreciate the input think I’ve just found the forum member @Bear1984 who runs 90mm lower on the same wheels and tyres.

Yep, fully loaded there.

Beautiful wheels the zephyrs. I couldn’t quite stretch to them so went with Navis Gelida.
