We are new to the VW scene, we have a kombi T32 204bhp, we would like to change the stock 17" for a black alloy 19" 20" so I have read the threads about the pro's and con's and would like to hear from those more experienced of what to go for and where from. The van is being converted by me ' and others' to a camper for the wife and I, it's not lowered as we like like the ride. Thank you. Geoff

Hi there.
You will need a minimum of a 103 load rating for a T32.
I have never run 20" wheels but they look a little daft if you're not lowered at all in my opinion.
I would honestly contemplate a shock / springs combo from somewhere like @CRS Performance , that will give you a much better ride with a subtle drop for improved handling.
19" wheels with a reasonable profile tyre will look good.

And the wheels themselves will need to be rated at or above 860kgs.
Lots of useful information in here.

T32 Wheel Options.
With all these discussions of suitable load rated (860kg+) T32 wheels and the constant checks of suitability and questions such as "What is that wheel on your van?" "Is that suitable for T32?" "Will that wheel fit my bus?" etc etc I thought it may be worth starting a 'sticky' dedicated to this...
Thank you I will take a look at your recommendations
