Has anyone fitted all terrain wheels and tyres to there T7 ? Something like the BF Goodrich type. Just wondering if the vehicle would need a lift on the suspension or it’s a bolt on job. Considering it for a winter trip over about 8 weeks to the highlands and Ireland.
 
The issue is the tyre sizes available are not user friendly with the California size options. Have a look at Rogue and that will give you an idea.....looking at a set for my forthcoming motorhome but with the Michelin XClimate Camping option in the same size, just a non Fiat ET offset..... also some AT tyres are not good in the snow. I had BFs on a Defender and they were poor (nearly 20years ago so things would have improved) . However Pirelli ATR and Duratracs on my V8 Discovery were super impressive.(Snow , what snow?)


This is an interesting tool to see the consquences

That’s good to know, thanks for the heads up, I’ll check this out
 
Looking at wheel specs between t6 and t7 Multivan the only difference is 5mm more inset on the T7. The rest is the same considerations as the t6.

I bet 8x17 et35-40 235/65 Falken Wildpeak would work. As for speedo, exact same issues as t6/6.1.
