    Thanks guys for the suggestions. I've looked into it much further now.

    I picked up a used set of 2018 17" VW multivan alloy wheels today for $400...

    After looking at all of the AT tyre options in a 17", I can only find 2 that are within 15mm and load rated correctly. There may be others, but I haven't seen them!

    Cooper ATT
    Maxxis AT771
    Both are 225/60 R17 103 load and speed rated at T or H.

    Factory spec on the placard is 235/55/17 103T (Factory OD is 690 and AT tyre 225/60 R17 is 702 - a 12mm increase).

    A 225 / 65 R17 is 724mm (a 34mm increase) which is too high for RWC. A 235 / 65 R17 is a 47mm increase.
    I can only find the BFG K02's with a 65 height.

    I've seen the ATT's in person, but not the Maxxis yet - which i'm sure i'll find somewhere.

    Gonna get the new rims painted before I get the tyres. I'll post a pic or two once i've got them on the car (around xmas).

    Cheers!

    sorry my bad, the ko2 are 65 profile, with a 107 load, so that does make it a 17mm increase.

    powder coating is reasonably priced, i went with a satin black.

    Hi Bryn, just bght 2016 T6 4Motion and it has 235/55ZR17 - 103w std road on it. King Lifter springs/shocks.

    Your comment about "lap around last year" could I PM you for some thoughts on a few legs I have planned on 4wd dirt, you may have done them?

    The whole 15mm increase compliance limit is such BS and a pain over here.
    Especially after seeing what cool swamper mods the brits and Europeans are doing over there with lift kits, all terrains and wheel upgrades.... so good!

    ps, the ATT's would be my pick to live with.

    Cheers Dave

    Almost ready for a new set of tyres and going to go to ATs.
    Has anyone had any experience with General Grabber AT3s? Looking at the 235/65/17s
