This stunning red VW Transporter T6.1 came in looking for a wheel and tyre upgrade that would improve comfort, freshen up the look and make the van better suited to everyday UK driving.
The owner was moving away from worn tyres and wanted a setup that gave the van more presence, while still keeping it practical. After looking through the options, they chose a set of 20 inch Veemann V-FS44 wheels finished in Gloss Black π
To improve comfort and give the van a more purposeful stance, we moved away from the previous 255/35 R20 tyre setup and increased the tyre profile. The final choice was a staggered setup with 255/40 R20 on the front and 275/40 R20 on the rear.
The larger sidewall makes a noticeable difference on Transporters, helping absorb bumps and potholes while giving improved ride comfort compared to lower profile tyres. It also fills the arches much better, creating that popular swamper inspired look while keeping the aggressive 20 inch styling.
The tyres chosen were Uniroyal RainSport 5, a great road focused tyre known for excellent wet weather performance, making them a strong choice for a van that spends most of its time on UK roads. Their rain optimised tread design provides confidence in changing weather conditions while maintaining everyday comfort.
The result is a Transporter that looks sharper, rides better and has a much stronger road presence. Another example of how the right wheel and tyre combination can completely transform a van ππ₯
