What’s the vents for in the rear quarters @Keaney ?
The vents are there by VW to help ease the closing of side door on PV's.
They say its to let the air out via another outlet below the floor level.
I had a problem closing my side door as van was ply lined, removed a bit of ply and works a treat.

Here’s the rear fitment in the nankangs 265/40 with 5mm spacer.

Think I’m almost there... one last test is a 20” 9 wife Judd so just waiting on that to arrive now and ty the continental. This is oppose to rolling my arches for the 9.5 on the front.

If it works I’ll have two 9.5 20” judd t311rs for sale!

What is a 20” 9 wife Judd??????
Is that a form of bigamy? Can barely afford to keep the wife I’ve got, let alone another 8. :eek:

Van looks “bitchin” by the way. :thumbsup:

There was a very famous Mormon called Jeremiah Judd who had 9 wives and he kept them all very happy.
The story became one of legend and people often refer to the '20" 9 wife Judd' even to this day - but I'm not sure why because he wasn't 20" tall - he was actually quite a large man if truth be told. :thumbsup:

Will they won’t they?
On the left is a 9j 245/45
On the right is 9.5j 235/40 that requires arches to be rolled

Will the 9j work... mind it is a higher tyre! Maybe a 245/40 is better with a 99 rating

I would say "stay with the correct load rating...." but the tyre on the right is labelled with a 96...
Oops yeah it’s 96 not 99

So the nankang didn’t work on the 9... therefore I just don’t think there’s a load rated tyre that works on the front on a 20” alloy.

245/45/20 seems to be the lowest profile and width I can try.

So you have to drop the load rating. Closest is 235/40/20 on 96 or 245/35/20 on 97.

Rear is fine lol
 
I know lots of people talk about load rated wheels, but you also need the correct load rated tyres to go on them.
If it's a T32 then you need 103 rated tyres minimum.
I don't have 20's, but I think the following are available:
245/45 103
265/40 104
275/40 106

Yeah your very correct unfortunately which means a smaller brake caliper may be the only option or a lower load rating.

Depends how much you put in your van and if you have a mot due
 
Or whether or not you want to be insured, surely. Then there's the risk of premature tyre damage and the subsequent outcome running a tyre not load rated.
Depends on what load your running really, i plan on taking it to a weigh bridge then have a conversation with my insurance company
