swamper mid for ours too, but I’m tempted to go high, if I can improve the ride at the same time, there are a couple of different kits, I don’t want to make it any more wallowing into the corners, most of my driving is country lanes
SwamperLow - Yes or No

I love these wheels but prefer the bronze, what engine power is your van? did you find the extra diameter made the gear selection any different?
wish me luck
No navis twins then
Maybe need to update on this. One-off the arch trims came off after a month or so. The amount of crap hiding under there was a lot despite me cleaning the van a lot.
I took them all off and all were the same so anyone with arch trims I'd say double check as that could easily just sit and rot them away.
I've since gone back to 20's and I do notice more feel when driving. No denying this look and great for crappy roads but for how I drive mine I prefer it with less of a sidewall.
Nah, can’t be running 35sNo navis twins then
What tyres were you riding ???
I had vossen VFS1s 265/45s and the stone chips up the side was not healthy … sitting on banded 255/45s now… far better but looking at 225/55 of 235/55 with 17s
Was this on standard suspension or lowered?
Me too!
It's a winning combination as far as I'm concerned. Good looks, practical and more comfortable than going super low.
Less fear of pot holes and no need to clench up every time you roll over a speed bump!

Considering rejoining the SwamperLow movement. Currently on 245/45/19s and lowered on STX coilovers wound right down and rear adjuster deletes…
This was my previous van at one point….
I really didn’t like the BFGs - they made too much noise.
Getting more and more fed up with the state of our roads so gaining some additional sidewall seems sensible, although would probably go for more of an all season tyre.
Top of list so far are 17” Fuel Coverts in bronze.
Not sure where I saw this photo but I like these wheels too….

what wheels are these? they look great!
Look like KMC hole shots
What tyres are you running? Size ?I finally took the plunge and let @BognorMotors do their stuff. Fuel Zephyr 17's and Solow coilovers. I also had H&R anti roll bars fitted and the whole package has made an incredible difference to how it drives. A touch firmer but so much more controlled. It feels like a car which is quite something.
Thanks to @T6180 for the wheels

I was running 225/55/17 Goodyear EfficienctGrip Cargo with the Solow's. I've since switched to the BMVS Edition bilstein coilovers and now run Falken Wildpeak 235/65/17. The Solow set up was fine for general driving but too low for the muddy lanes and fields which my new hobbies now involve.
