Thats laterally inverted now if you look at the vanstyle logo
What’s laterally? Like turn it around left corner to right corner ?180 Degs?
No, means flipped from side to side. Like a mirror image.
Like the one you posted in #599
That looks fantastic
Fuel do some of the best wheels. Problem is hardly any fit the Transporter

Hey Whale,
That looks fantastic. They look massive from the side but from the front it's very subtle. No sticking out and no spacer needed. And the width of the tire does not look overdone.
I found a UK distributor for Fuel Wheels... Have to say it's a very affordable wheel for something made in California.
Gonna have a look at the Twin monotube's also now, haha!

There are several suppliers in the UK, THQ among others.
Strange thing is the Transporter sized version of the Fuel Zephyr is quite a lot more £££ than the same wheel in other pcd and offsets :/ . VW tax again?

Came across this one on the Twin Monotube website.... Have to say their 17 inch offroad wheel is pretty much perfect with the 37ET. No spacers needed.
Car in the photos is on stock ride height. Looks so good. I'm wondering what hese tires are..?

95+% sure they would be 235/65/17 Pirelli Scorpion AT+ , there aren't that many size options for a T6 in this tyre range.
Edit:
Then again I've just looked at mine and I'm 95% sure then are 225/65/17
I think in summary I'm 99% sure they are one of the above,
& I'm 100% sure this isn't much help

Thanks! That was helpful, haha!
It's indeed the Scorpion thread pattern. TuV wise Twin Monotube approves either 235/65/17 and/or 225/65/17 so it's either one of those.These tires don't look so bulky and heavy and the threads also look like fuel milage isn't going down so much, i.e. looks like a very user friendly tire.
I had big 19 inch rims with low tires with a B14 lowering kit on y old T5, and then switched to the original steel 17 inch rims. The difference was huge!! Those big wheels were actually a pain to drive with. Heavy, bulky feeling over bump etc, heavier steering... I'm really curious what a Scorpion for example will feel like.

That’s really tall and yet they don’t look it at all, must be the wheels that mess with my eyes.
