^^^ Looks great! I plan a similar style for my 4M.
Do the 245/65's fit without catching? What offset are the wheels ?
And finally, how noisy do you find the aggressive tyres? Noticable or not too bad? (KO2 AT's ??)
Thanks

Yes, no catching anywhere. There is a bit more road noise from the BFGs but its not excessive. Mine are ET12 and fit flush with the wheel arch. Considering a bit of a lift to counter the weight of the conversion but probably only about 30mm^^^ Looks great! I plan a similar style for my 4M.

Hmmm....
So my nice new wheels may not be as I ordered them.
They are 1form Edition.3+ in 18x8.5 size. I ordered ET45 - same as the 1form Edition.1 wheels I am replacing, and also as close to the VW OE spec of ET50 as I can get.
I was in the process of flattening the boxes for recycling when I noticed the boxes state ET40. Noticing this I check the wheels, which say ET35.
Measuring I am getting a 38mm measurement. Allowing for measurement error this is either an error on ET35 or, and perhaps more likely, ET40. It is not the ET45 I ordered.
Will ET40 work on the van? I believe so.
But that's not the point - I have contacted the supplier and am awaiting a call back.
A major complication is that the wheels now have tyres mounted.
What would you guys do?

Excuse the filthy van but at least the wheels are clean.
Still not sure about the ET40 offset though - I'd rather it was the ET45 I ordered.

Dan the van looks really good! I’ve just brought a set from rimstyle too. I’m still awaiting delivery of my LWB t6.1 in indium grey so was curious to see what the wheels looked like on! Look brilliant!
Think these Black Rhino Boxers might be my favourite 17” - they look awesome!
Do they protrude from the arches at all? Looks like they might do on the fronts slightly?
An additional note about Rial x10x less than a year on….
If the other driver of the van, despite claiming that we don’t need the lack rim blades because they “never hit kerbs” and “the tyres are so big the rims will never hit a kerb”, grinds the kerb anyway, they CAN be repaired at home.
After watching a million videos etc and worried about the satin black paint match I decided to spray rather than touch up.
I sanded the damage using 600 then 1200 paper, progressing down the wheel as little as possible. I then sprayed acid etch primer into a lid and just paintbrushed any areas where the sanding showed the bare metal to avoid having to cover lots of grey. The primer got a run down and another coat.
Then careful masking with rollled tape to feather into the original paint and a bin bag stuffed into the wheel and around the arch only exposing the edge of the rim being sprayed (sorry no pics of this- too engrossed in the task!)
3 coats of Halfords satin black spray- very light spraying with no lacquer because they would come out gloss. The finish is just about perfect, the match with the Halfords paint is excellent.
2 very happy people! The paint on the rial alloys is really thick by the way so nice to know!
Success was down to loads of careful sanding and sneaky masking.
What wheels are these? They are so industrial and ornate- they look class!
