It's so wrong I think it works, let us know in the comments below what you think.
*NOTE* Towards the end the video I get the tyre size wrong, the correct size is in the text on the screen**

    Sweet video Andy, I originally wanted Black Rhino wheels fitted to my van, couldn't find anyone that could help with tyre sizing on a standard set up, so i gave up and went for another wheel choice. I love how THQ like to experiment with ideas and try different things out ! Personally I think these look smart the colours definitely suit the van, I wish I had waited for this video to come along before I bought mine lol.

Was going to do the 20” route but the more AT wheels I see the more I like them especially for comfort. However you don’t see many silver vans especially sport line front ended T5.1’s with swamper style wheels. So wondered what you’d go for? 👍🏻

    I just picked up my new T6.1 shuttle in Fortana red last week to haul my dogs around in (Middle row of seats removed) and to use as a day van after the lock down ends for day tripping. Looking for Limo tint all round and about a 35mm lift. I think those wheels in that colour would set off the van nicely, but I have spoken to quite a few people who have gone down the swamper route and they all have conflicting stories of what rubs and what doesn't, what's drivable and what's not... I like BFG tyres but don't know what size would work on these without rubbing (either stock ride height or lifted) and as far as I know, no one is recalibrating the 6.1 speedo yet?

    Your Van looks nice on those Swamper wheels, but I would have gone all black, with the state of the roads running the lower profiles can be problematic as you are always trying to find a smooth line. A friend has 35's on an A5 coupe and they are more like rubber bands, no wonder the higher profiles feel more comfortable. In this world don't follow the herd, branch out and find your own style, if not we will end up in boring grey place, with Ed Sheeran on repeat.

    You can run 235/65r17 or 255/55r18 (255/55's are really close to the 275/40r20's people run... mm's at most) on a 30/40mm drop at most but they fit without any rubbing except in certain circumstances. Honestly, with the roads being as shit as they are nowadays i don't see the point in low profile tires anymore. I'd rather have more rubber and not be worrying about will i bottom out a rim on that biggish bump over there.

    @@THQAutomotive Depends on the lowering tbh. Slammed or at 50mm or lower it'll rub for sure. I know the 255/55r18's fit on a 30mm lowered as i had that on my van (t5.1 with some generic 18x9's) no problem. Only if i hit a speedbump full pelt or full lock did it rub and even then it was negligible and dependent on where the van was (on a slope or at an angle ect.) On a 30mm drop the 255's will have a pretty much even gap around the arch... enough to squeeze your fingers/hand in and clear any debris from the tread if needed but obviously not like lifted lol. The 255's are technically identical in diameter to the 235's brand dependent just wider. The 275's are standard for companies like leighton vans who use a 40mm lowering spring on theirs. A/T tires are the way forward though for vans imo as it completely changes the ride quality from somewhat jarring to almost SUV like.

    @@dodo19923 275/40/20 it too big, companies fit them because they are cheap and over load rated. The rolling radius is wrong, they look too big and they are really hard. To give the tyre that load rating they have super hard sidewalls. 255/55/18 will also have the wrong rolling radius. Rub will also depend on the ET and width of the wheel.

I'm running 225/65r17's at the min on 17x8's on my new(ish) van as it's all i could get hold of at the time. Will probably look at the 235/65r17's on a 17x8.5 when the time comes to upgrade them as i like the more rounded look it gives but still have more to go before i get to that stage. I didn't know that's why they fit 275's but i guess if it somewhat works then whatever, it's not really the way i like things but each to their own i guess .The alpine speaker kit is most likely next on my list now i've finished the lining in the back which was a pain in the arse to do lol.

    Pretty pointless exercise, when the first hint of mud or snow will fill the gap in the arches and turn the tyres into slicks as the tread is packed full. If you want to run silly low ride height, just stick with normal rubber, the M&S's are completely wasted.
