What to do??

[gmaster]

My kombi has a nice set of 20" ATS Temperament alloys on it with 275/40, 20" tyres. However I will soon be towing a caravan. The front wheels rub on big bumps and on full lock, but I can solve this issue by replacing the current tyres for 265/40 20's and adding 5mm spacers.........or do I bite the bullet and realise I am now an ageing Dad (with a caravan) and admit that it's time to drop the 20's in favour of 18" sportlines?

I'm on Bilsteins, dropped pretty low, but I'm worried the 18's will look tiny?!?

I have already ordered some genuine VW T6 Sportline 18"in wheels in semi glossed-Black.....but what do I do??

Change the tyre size your 20" wheels look fantastic

You could just put the 18s on for towing

Thanks for the replies. It looks like I'll be getting the 18" Sportines fitted tomorrow and then I'll make my mind up later. Either way one set will probably be up for sale soon!

We towed with 20 inch wheels on with 275 40 20 tyres. Rear was fine and didn't really drop ( nose weight checked at 97kg) and the fronts just caught on inner wheel lining on full lock as previously. That said it was only lowered 30mm.

Keep the 18s.
20s on a van are daft.
