21 inch alloys

[freerider]

Hi ,I have a t6.1 that's got standard steels on ,I'm thinking going 21 inch alloys with not sure about tyres yet
Do 21's go and look ok?

Welcome to the Forum!
People have fitted 21" wheels before, they work, but you may find it difficult to find load rated tyres if you've got a T32.

Welcome , also factor in the comfort or lack of with that comes along with low profile tyres ....cracked rims etc from potholes and little side walls.
Plenty of people run 20's ....and lots of these have downsized for comfort reasons .

That's the thing ,I don't want low profiles..as had caddy previously with low profiles and suspension etc and was a pain .
Because of the huge gap between the steels/tyres to arch ,was wondering best size really for wheel/tyre combo to fill the arch more

If you don't want low profiles you should forget 21" rims, you wouldn't fit them under the arches without low profile tyres.

Was sorta thinking that anyways..my previous thoughts were maybe 17/18 rims with normal/chunky tyres

Get Steve @CRS Performance to fit decent lower suspension and you'll lose the trousers at half mast look VW chose to go with.
This is us on modest 18s,
H&R coilovers and bath tub pop top.

Just needs lowering now then
Don't fit massive wheels to lose the gap .....just lose the gap!

The down side of 20 to 21" just makes this a bridge too far ,in my opinion .

There are so many opinions on this , it will blow your mind and confuse , but generally common sense will prevail

21 inch hardly looks different to 20 but when the wheels start cracking it will get to you . you loose valuable side wall in the tyre and that only leads to rough ride and issues with wheels bending and cracking .
