Anyone using OZ Rally Raid ET 0 wheels?

I'm curious how a set of zero offset 17" OZ Rally Raid wheels would look on a T6/T6.1 that is at factory ride height. Do the tyres and rims protrude too far. What effect does adding positive scrub radius have on the handling and tyre wear? Please post pics if you have this setup.
 
Isn’t a cali but standard set up on t32 LWB didn’t notice any extra protruding compared to when I had a cali on 235/55/17
Done 7000miles on them tyre wear was fine, Oz make great quality wheelsIMG_2130.jpegIMG_0805.jpeg
 
Loz has a set on his cali, if he’s still on here. If not look on T6 forum as he’s on there

Were they ET 35 or 0? There are 2 variants available. I checked out @Loz posts and the only photos he posted here were of the wheels off the Cali after he installed Pirelli Scorpions. Those show he was using ET35's and his Cali was raised 30mm.

You’ve lost me on et35 or 0
Bought mine from rogue alloys and they were a direct fit on t6.1 and tyres from black circles website good discount if you wait for Black Friday
 
Won’t this screw up the clearance to the rear sliding door? 35 mm is quite a big shift.
Regarding your bump steer/scrub radius, I’d imagine you’d feel quite a difference!
 
By the way, ride height has no effect on scrub radius, it remains constant.

The difference between ET35 and stock ET55 is only 2cm. Lots of people are running these wheels and no issues with catching the sliding door. I could potentially see an issue with the a full off road knobbly and bulbous tyre but I will be going a more conservative tyre route probably Michelin Cross Latitude if they come out with a 3 peaks version.
Scrub radius is only a concern with the ET0 wheels but I have discounted this option as far too aggressive anyway.

I’m confused, I thought you were going zero offset?

Question was if anyone is running ET0 wheels. Clearly, at least from my research, no-one is going that extreme. I think the ET0 is for lifted Amarok applications. ET35 seems the sweet spot for the Cali.

Front arch outer edge is the critical area regarding offsets.
I trial fitted 45 offset with a 235/55/18 tyre on an Amorak 7.5" width rim and had virtually no clearance with suspension on a low setting (not lowest).
From that and sliding door issues I'd stick to as close to standard 55mm offset as possible. Many wheels seem to be aimed at Amoraks which have 10mm less offset than Transporters.

Apologies for dredging this one up but I’m still procrastinating about wheels. I’m pretty much set for the OZ Rally Raid wheels with et35 (wearing Falken Wildpeak AT3 235/65/17). While you’re right there’s only 20mm difference between the standard et55 and et35, the Rally Raids I’m looking at are 8” against my Woodstocks which 7”. Willtheyfit makes that a total difference of 32.7mm at the outer rim. Unless I’ve got something wrong somewhere!

I’ve not fully measure things but that sounds perfect and I still think there’s room for the sliding door and the fronts should stay just inside the arch.

For those running such a set up, would you recommend mudflaps? I’m guessing there will be more spray than the standard set up?
 
Not that particular rim but tried Amorak 7.5x18 with 45 offset and area with the clearance issue was the front arch outer area if lowered and on full lock.

Implications of non standard offset is, any tyre rubbing on body or suspension is an MOT fail making vehicle unroadworth and Insurance invalid, increased load on wheel bearings and altered steering geometry.

I think I’ll end up keeping my suspension standard so can’t see any issues with rubbing anywhere. Certainly there are others out there running more extreme set up’s successfully.
 
With thanks to @The Blue Merle and after much deliberation between the OZ Rally Raids and the Black Rhino Warlords, we went upto Elite in Reading today and opted for the Raids in matt black. They look superb in the flesh and Elite swapped over my almost new Cross Climate 2 tyres onto the wheels. All ready to go onto the new Ascot Grey Cali in the next few days.

Will look stunning on ascot, I was drooling over an ascot grey cali with black wheel and bars in the lakes the other day!
 
Very pleased with them on the Ascot Grey. Being slightly wider (8J) than standard wheels they give the van a nice wide stance. These have my original 235/55 R17 Cross Climate 2 tyres on - which after 4500miles were hardly worn at all.

Looking good. They really are a nice wheel. The matte finish is more satin and does give the van a great stance. And they’re TÜV certified!
