Just started converting mine to swamper from the usual lowered & 20's.
Gone with Black Rhino Boxers with Falken Wildpeak 245/65/17's
Back on stock T32 suspension (fronts still have to settle) but really pleased so far.
Need to source a replacement front bumper so I can ditch the ABT spoiler and get some wheel arch mouldings.

Hi 64Split, where did you buy your Black Rhino Boxers from? I am looking for a set, preferably in 18's, but struggling to find any in stock in the UK.
Many thanks,
Matty
 
I bought mine from Matt at VW T5 Upgrades. Think they were the last set he had. Mine are 17's - very pokey too (which Matt does warn about on the site) so would probably benefit from 235's on the front rather than 245's. All the other sites that I found that sell them say they don't fit the Transporter (I assume due to the offset).
 
Thats exactly what i’m finding too, being told they don’t fit the transporter.
I shall contact VW T5 upgrades, Thanks!
 
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 … 💪

Hey Scotty, Is your van a T32..?

I now have some 17" GPS that are being powder coated satin black next week na the Wildpeaks turned up today.

Now just panicking a bit as i read somewhere that standard GPs may not fit on 2020 T6.1 T32..!!??

T28 mine good sir …. I have the big brakes on mine and they are fine …. No rubbing and they’re on spacers …. Hope this helps… 🤟
 
Yea, i think it's just 16" wheels that don't fit a T32. Dropped them off just now to be refurbed and powder coated satin black. Should be fitted Friday. Can't wait. I'll post up some pics when done.
Looking forward to seeing them … 👍
 
Hey ChestnutBrown, What pressures are you running on your Wildpeaks?
I am running 42psi all round at present. Rides lovely compared to the 255/45/18’s that they replaced.

Been meaning to test a range of different pressures, but just been happy with this since fitting.
 
I ran mine at 38 psi for a while without issue but put it up to 42 after reading that it was a recommended pressure.
It seems spot on, to be fair.

Think I might Do that Bear78 they have a slight bulge at 38psi, soft and bouncy tho!.

Don't think I have seen a photo of your set up!
 
Also when I picked them up they were fitted to the van for me. I drove off then I could hear intermittent scraping on the for at on each revolution wheel turn.

Turns out there wasn’t enough clearance between the brake calliper and the inside of the rim where they ad placed the stick on balance weights!!

Anyone also had this issue?

Bigger T32 brakes an calipers on Gp 17” steels?
