cool.Afternoon …..
I don't suppose you have any pics without the spacers?
Do they really make that much of a difference. Was thinking of these powder coated satin black with Falken Wildpeaks on my 2020 T6.1 Indium grey Kombi.
Sounds like a nice idea you have there for the wheels … I haven’t had them on without spacers. I imagine they would touch on the inside of the tire without though …
So, another question if you don’t mind Scotty.
Are the VW GPs not wide enough for the 235/65/17 tyres? Looks like the side walls bulge a bit.
Btw, I know nothing about wheels and tyres!
Hah no issue ..
they don’t bulge no …. They fit well.. they ride very well and are comfy.. ( I did run 255 40 20) ‘s which were harsh !!
Can you DM me a load more pics of your Van please so I can check out the look.Hah no issue ..
I’ll get some
Better pics for you tomorrow of the wheels and how the stance looks etc ..
Thanks. Is your van lowered?
Yes … I bought it as it is tho so not entirely sure how much …
What I can’t get my head around is that most of the VW GP 17” wheels on marketplace come with 215/60/R17 tyres on them!Yes … I bought it as it is tho so not entirely sure how much …
So it’s ok is it to fit 235/65/R17 Tyres on these rims is it?
Always learning!
I’ve had no issues at any point …. The van I bought them off ( I worked with the fella ) had them on for 4 years and again no issues. Same tires same spacers ..
once this weather passes I’ll grab some closer shots for you …

Nice, Can I ask how much you paid to have them powder coated? and where did you get the spacers?Rogue one ….. won’t let me dm
A pic for some reason …… here is a pic for you of the rear 30mm spacer and side on wheel and tire.. no issue with the tire size what so ever … get em on and enjoy …

I bought them as you see them … my workmate did the hard work with the powder coating and tires a spacers… the spacers were from Stuart Watson Barnsley . [email protected]
I’m about to change my wheels and tyres.
Been running Falken Wildpeaks on Black Rhino Boxers for the last 60k miles. Tyres are superb. Ride is amazing. I’m changing to the Supermetal Rig (Bronze) for a better offset.
Hope I don’t regret going with 18” as the ride on the 17” was smoooooth.

Any pics ?
I fitted 17” Devonport’s with 235/65/17 Wildpeak’s a short while ago. Absolutely love them and work fine with my 30mm drop Sportline springs. Plenty of clearance and not an issue with 40mm drop either.
Any Photos?
