Custom wheel sizes

Postby Thequeenscheese » Mon Jul 02, 2018 8:15 pm

Is there any reason not to run bigger rims and tyres on the rear to get a stance on the van? Like traction control problems etc, not saying I'm going to do it but I'm thinking about it..

Yep: ESP / ABS wil, give a faultcode because of inplausible speed signal differences.

Do 18'' wheels give a harder ride and have more expensive tyres?

That would probably depend on how much wind you put in them
It says 45psi on the door jar
You can get ditchfinder hiflys for 70 turnips a scrote I think
I just put decent make part worns on mine it's an egay job though because most that size are 98 loadrating and you need 101xl

The 18" tyres I bought for my mk7 were Haida from eBay £48 a corner plus I paid £7 a corner to have them fitted and they were load rated etc..
