curtisnash said:I have lowered VW Suspension 30mm running 21inch wheels with PIRELLI 275/35/21 P ZEROS which are correctly load rated. They do not rub in any way and have done over 4,000 miles the ride is very comfy and not hard or harsh in any way even with the dropped suspension. I tried 20inch with some cheap tyres and a spigot they were not good. The ones I have now do not require a spigot and drive like a dream and as I say am not harsh but they are expensive 250quid a pop plus the wheels you get what you pay for with tyres.
The only problem I do have is that I actually use the van off road sometimes and its surprising how a 30mm drop makes a difference however I am waiting for air-ride to finish testing a new air suspension for the t5.1 which will then allow me to lift the suspension above normal and lower it and also level it when camping at the touch of a button I hope to have this sorted next month. The bigger tyres are actually great they give much more grip especially in snow.

As far as "and don't make it look like its trying to be something it is not” it is what you want it to be it is actually a T5 Van pimp it up and enjoy yourself life is to short to be boring and I suggest you spend some time on this forum. http://www.vwt4forum.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=147 it may give you some more ideas.
I will be at the Call meet or give me shout if you fancy a ride I live near Southampton.
