6.1 4mo OEM wheel size please

[Mumbles]

I have a factory order in the pipe but my current T5 is up for tyres. I was thinking about buying a new wheel set and AT tyres in 17" and changing them over when it arrives.
Spoke to my tyre shop and he is telling me only 18" are listed for that model. Can someone with 6.1 4 motion with 21 build date give me their tyre sizes off the placard inside door please.
VW website wasn't that informativel. Mucho

As long as the specs don’t differ between the UK and Oz, 4M only comes in UK T32 spec and as standard that comes with 17in Devonport wheels. There is also no difference in wheels for non 4M vans. My T32 had the same wheels as a standard 4M. I have changed my Devonports for Oz Racing Rally Raids 17in with 245/65/17 AT tyres.

Thanks Ray, I took a gamble and have organised a set of wheels

What wheels did you go for Mumbles? I'm in exact same situation, standard t5.1 needing new tyres, with a 4mo on the way in Oz for October wanting to switch straight to ATs. Don't think my current 17'VW wheels will fit T32s...interested to see what you've decided.

I'm after something similar for my new T6.1 LWB 4M. Do you have any issues with that offset (+35, right?) and that tyre size?
Ta.

I went with Dynamic Sunraysia wheels. 17" x 8"not even sure if they will fit the 6.1 4 mo and wont know till at least Oct. I will have them on my T5 tomorrow along with new Maxxis bravo tyres. Plan on heading off Sunday to camp along the murray for a few days and hope I dont end up stuck down there. I always got nervous off the black stuff with the 2wd T5 if things got wet

I’m sure you’re aware, but just so anyone considering a similar setup is, these are about 8% oversized versus standard right?

 

[Bryn23]

you can Always put on the 225/65/R17 bfg ko2’s they are around 4%, so my speedo is spot on.

I just put a new set on the front for our upcoming 3 month trip, still had about 5mm on the old ones at 45000km.
