Is that a euphemism ?. I'm not up on all current sexual tequnics. ☝
19 inch shod with 255/45/19 uniroyal rubber dropped onto B14's
View attachment 17323
Ride and handling much improved

I'm so tempted to go 19s....may even consider 18s and lower my b14s right down
My 19's will be up for sale soon.
go on tell....what's the replacement going to be?
so what caught your eye then?
I've always liked the look and idea of steels, but wanted something wider than 7.5" - I know you can get banded steels, but that wasn't what I wanted.
I recently discovered that Weller Wheels are making and selling 17" steels for the T5/T6 in wider sizes and have got my name down for some. Check their details here: Weller Wheels Ltd

Really liking the look of your van @Tourershine. Can I ask, are the grey graphics on the sills custom made or aftermarket. Quite keen on the Panamericana theme but also like the look of the strip that you have for my silver LWB.
Thanks for the compliment.
I had a company I use for all my business sign writing make them up.
All I did was to give them a picture of the Edition Transporter, and they measured up my van and copied them exactly. You tend to find good sign companies will use really high quality vinyl, and these guys have.
The main reason I added the stripe, was to incorporate my business name/logo into the decal where it would normally say 'Edition' on the genuine VW ones. It's very discrete, and almost impossible to see unless you look, but that's exactly what I wanted. Sounds daft really, when you think it's potentially a mobile advert, but that's not how my business works.
If you have a Silver van, try looking at Satin Black as a decal, it works really well against the Silver.
As you can see, it's also on the rear as per the genuine Edition, but I guess that's optional, but the rear one does have the added benefit of protecting the paint when the van is filthy and my work colleague/brother puts his hands on the dirt to shut the boot, knowing finger prints in dirt on a boot drives me nuts! I keep telling him VW stuck a huge badge smack in the middle of the tailgate that fits the palm of your hand perfectly when shutting a Transporter rear, but he forgets.... constantly
Just like him opening and closing his door with his wedding ring on and his club fisted fingers, leaving tiny scratches I have to keep polishing out on HIS SIDE ONLY. Lee, if you're reading this.... You're sacked!

Thanks Bryan, I've chosen Dunlop SP Maxx 245 45 19 in 102's for my T30, which are readily available. It's the T32 guys that struggle with higher load ratings.
Well spotted re passenger seat swivelled. I'm unsure whether you can legally travel with it rear facing as with the 5th seat too.
(I've fitted Cali rails to accommodate the rear seat / bed and a flexible 5th seat)

My complete Cali install was cheaper than other manufacturers offerings. 3 SH Cali rails, as new T6 seat / bed, rear "parcel" shelf and mattress etc came in under £3K. I installed the rails myself as it's not that difficult. Setting the floor height is the trick to ensure it looks right.
It provided flexibility and to me looks the part too.
