    Newby Bought a T5 Transporter....

    Howdy....


    I've just traded in my 2008 Holden SS V Ute for a T5 LWB Transporter Diesel DSG in Silver.


    Anyone know what brand besides Speedy and mako that do load rated rims in larger sizes? 20's or 22's?

    Cheers!

    yes I have done a search but come up with no particular brands in the larger size...


    Had to say that before people just tell me to do a search....

    Congratulations mate and welcome to the forum.

    I'm not sure that 22" wheels will go on T5. You will have a problem with the

    speedo not correctly displaying speed.

    22" do fit on a T5

    The tyres you need are 265 35 22

    They cost £120 each then upwards of that in the UK

    I know the cost is of no use to you but thought it might be fun to compare

    Also Range Rover wheels fit straight on!

    5x120 is the same as some commodores and bmws too.
    Dunno if that helps.

    Does your dealer have full pricing on the T5, I only ask because you said you've ordered a DSG version which is the newly updated Transporter?

    nah DSG has been around for a while on the T5


    22's do fit the T5, a Mate owns a motorcycle transport company and his T5 is lowered with 22's on it but he doesn't care about load rating on that vehicle.

    having the speedo out is no biggy.... not really worried about that... I just want my ride to llook unique!! hehe

    Sorry mate, there is no DSG in current T5. Upgraded T5 (T5.2) will get DSG.

    I’m sure it will look nice on big wheels but are you planning on telling to your insurance company about it? If you don't, you would give them the opportunity to void your claim, should you need to make one.

    Also may not be legally registered, particularly if the rolling diameter is significantly different. I know it is boring and "not fun", but this sort of stuff can be really important if you are in a prang and the police and your insurers start to investigate.

    On the Caddy definitely and as Transporter stated, on the T5's it's a conventional auto 6 speed with adaptive and sport shift functions...you had me excited thinking there might be pricing available on the T5.2.
