  9. They do look good but I bet the ride is harsh!

  10. urban myth about the harsh ride probably poor set up on adjustable dampers...........
    With 265 40 20 tyres and 40mm lowering springs mine isnt any different to what it was before......

  13. Do you need to lower it, am considering the wheels but not really interested in the lowered suspension.

  14. just looks a whole lot better....... the factory caravelle and sport line were 30mm lower as std!

    Also to keep your speedo in range the tyre profile is important, A lot of people go to 275 40 20 but this is way out on rolling radius
    VW now supply 20 wheels with 275 35 20 tyres a near a cheaper option to keep the load rating is 265 40 20 and that is within 4% on radius to std....
