Yeah got a new one. Ordered 4 tyres and 4 wheel alignment, booked in 31st December. Going to 35 profile all round
As the end of 2025 draws in, i decided to finally get better tyres. When I bought these LV-2 wheels, they came fitted with the uniroyal rainsport 5 tyres which were perfect.....until I fitted the coilovers!
After long chats with various folk on Instagram, I went for the following spec
Old Spec
275/40/20 on the rear and 245/45/20 on front
New Spec
255/35/20 on the rear and 235/35/20 on front
Also went for new centre caps and 4 wheel alignment as it definitely needed it!

Yeah, but the company i got wheel from have admitted liability with manufacturing faultSo you cracked the rim with 11cm sidewall and has decided now to go with 8cm and lower load rating?
But tbh - looks better
Yeah, sent me a brand new wheel for free
Have you noticed a difference in height since changing the tyres. My size is what you did have, often think about changing to the new size you have. But at the moment i can go over speed bumps ok without splitter hitting but not up a curb, which is fine... and i do go fishing quite a lot so tracks etc.
I have looked on tyre calculator, says about an inch difference?
Looks better now though mate and the rear lights, want to change mine to clear red too.... for the same reasons as yourself. Theyre not too bad once theyre on, but when parked up they are black.

It's 10mm difference if you calculate it. I have to park on the flat part of my drive now but can get over speed humps easy. Think mines 100mm lowered
I'm hoping not, but it is a possibility. I've checked them all over and can't see any forms of cracking etc so fingers crossed it's just the one
Quite a few on the road.
if they were to just have a percentage of those back then it could get expensive .
Had a bit of spare time today to tick some jobs off.
New splitter ordered off santa, as the old one took a beating in Great Yarmouth.
Driveway might be a problem
Also while the bumper was off, I decided to address the terrible grills from vanstyle. Literally had to screw them from the back. I'll never buy anything from vanstyle again!

Thanks bud. I have enjoyed doing it. But, mrs sort of makes sense when she says "no more". I spend money like it's free, need to be careful......1.5hrs reading all that thread while "working"!!
Great build, looks good
don't sell, i sold my T6 thinking, I'll be happier back in a car again... now back in T6.1
Or just ignore her, get air ride and a pop top
I went to Camper Mart last weekend, picked up a few bits.
Another new gear knob top, new door pins and dust caps.
I also spotted a van there with a great heater outlet on the diesel heater. Purchased and fitted.
