Amarok Wheels on a T6

[RedDragonAus]

Anyone else with Amarok wheels? I put a set of Amarok 18" wheels on my multivan with 255/45/18 Bridgestone RE003 which are 103 load rated.

amarok wheels on t6

 

[superflyguy]

I Did look at a set of these for mine, a bit similar to the Devonports but 18", just running steels now over the winter but will be on the hunt for some new 18" in the spring.

I've a set of 19" Cantera wheels in factory gloss black. Will be shod with 245 45 19 102 Dunlops.

So, I was wondering Of I coludidos Buy a set Of 18’s or 19”s from an Amarok.

is it okif we put the oem Amarok wheels and tires to our T6 or we should stick to the Transporter tire size (which is a bit smaller)?

 

[Wills]

The Amarok tyre profiles are too high for the transporter. They have a longer rolling circumference therefore affecting the speedo accuracy.

Has anyone fitted these amarock wheels with a 40 profile? If so what size / brand did you go for. They are 20" 8j.

I've seen them with Landsail but on a 45 profile which is a bit too much Speedo error for me to live with.

Snap I am too running a T32, these wheels are suitably load rated but struggling with tyre choice. All the 245/40/20 I've seen are only 99's. I'm not sure if 255/40/20 will be too wide for a 8j rim?? Ahhh it's so confusing....

I honestly can’t find a 255/40/20 with 103 rating .
Quite a few 45 chioces.

I can find them in 101 rating, will that be enough for a T32?

 

[Brennanpj]

Think it’s 103 minimum , correct me if I’m wrong!?

 

[T6180]

I ran 245/45/20s on an 8.5j rim at the front

Yep you're right 103 minimum just checked.

Running Cantera 19's on my van , I love the OEM fitment and look , on 245/45/19 which keeps it useable and fairly pothole resistant , just needs lowering a bit now when funds allow​

Hi @Anthony Ball I'm looking at these 19" amarock wheels as an option on my starlight blue van. Could you post up a closer picture of the wheels showing the arch gap please buddy. They look really smart on your van. what make of tyre did you go for? Cheers.

Might take this thread into my local VW dealers, told me Amarok wheels would not fit. Looking at these tell me slightly different news. Which is great as I quite like these especially black

The wheels are the same PCD as a Transporter 5x120, why would they tell you they don't fit Maybe they meant with some of the huge tyres fitted to the Amarok, or maybe they were just plain uneducated on their own product.

The only thing I can think is the tyres, (but the ones they had for sale were not massive) it just lacking a little imagination
