Have a T6.1 which has been lowered and has 20" wheels. Want to change to smaller wheels and have seen set of 17" alloys with 215/60 tyres. Are they suitable? Would I need to raise back to original height?
 
That really depends on the spec of the wheels and tyres on the van and the ones you are replacing them with.

This website is excellent for comparing different wheel and tyres combos:


You can then make an education choice on what whether they will fit or cause you problems.
 
Pretty sure that is a common size but, as mentioned above it depends on the wheel details (mainly offset seeing as though the diameter and tyre width look ‘normal’ for a Transporter).

The other thing I’d be checking is wheel width - just to make sure that tyre is within the allowance, and the load rating of the wheel and tyres. Different vans need different max load rating (t26, t28, t39 & t32 etc).

Is there a sticker inside your drivers door pillar showing the wheel and tyre sizes and load ratings (along with tyre pressures) for your particular van? Should be there.
