Don’t Hate me…. T32 Correct offset … Confused

[JonnyTee]

I know nothing about T6 vans…. I Bought a T6 T32 LWB camper conversion…. It came lowered with 30mm vw springs and 275/40/20 load rated tyres……
Issue is I want to put it in Coilovers (B14’s or SoLows) and still want to run 20’s that will hopefully Slightly Tuck up in to the Arches. So what’s the best size wheel and tyres I need to buy to achieve this look? Pic of my van below that I feel the wheels sit too square/stick out.

Your van looks lower than mine and mines dropped 50mm. My guess is that the weight of the conversion on those shorter springs with the original shocks is the problem.
Speak to Steve at CRS and sort out the suspension as you plan and then worry about the wheels (which may be fine).

Thanks for your reply, I’ve got it in my head that the 275 tyres are too wide to drop it down how I want it. Don’t know what off set the wheel are that’s in it either

As @Bigsidavies says, Steve @CRS Performance can advise you on your options

I had 275/40/20 on the front lowered 50 and they just rubbed slightly on full lock. I have 245/45/20 now and they don’t rub and drive much better.
You may find when you have the suspension replaced that it doesn’t sit much lower than it is now so if you have no problem now you’ll have no problem later.
You seem to be trying to solve a problem that you don’t have.

It does look lower that -50mm. What is your current ride height? Wheel centre to top of wheel arch, front and rear.

Just measured it…. From centre of the wheel badges to the arch is 15.5” F+R

Speak to Chris at @The Van Cave mate and he will point you in the right direction.

15.5" is 394mm. I'm pretty sure the stock ride height is 460mm, so you're 66mm down already.

Your wheels are the Velare VLR07 and they come in 8.5” wide for the front and 10” for the rear (staggered), or 8.5” all round. Looking at the Vanstyle website, the offset on the 8.5” is ET35 and the 10” is ET38.

So ones with a greater offset would tuck in better?

Not sure sir, Garage who had it Made said it was dropped 30mm of VW springs

Yup!

Wow. How do they get this so wrong. …. ??

Would some decent coilovers sort this out? I’m already looking for some new wheels that will tuck in better

What did @The Van Cave or @CRS Performance advise when you spoke with them?

Spoke to Steve @CRS Performance and ordered some STX for delivery just need to find somebody in West Yorkshire to fit them now.

Suspension and Wheels - Yorkshire?

Does anyone know any B14 coilover installers in Yorkshire? Im in west yorkshire and I've noticed Exploria in Brighouse do supply and fit but they seem expensive than elsewhere @ £1404 inc. Vat. I have no problem at all doing a road trip if necessary but i thought i'd ask forum members first if...

It’s definitely a lot lower than 30 mm , but this is the classic. One spring can’t fit all vans scenario
