VW T6.1 Transporter Wheels & Tyres. Alloy, Swamper, Steel & More

Although the T6.1 was an update on the popular T6, there are lots of shared parts between them, which is ideal for a wide choice of accessories. Adding the right wheels and tyres to your Transporter can make a difference to its appearance and performance, whether you want to compliment more off-road styles to match a swamper, or want a sleek sporty look with some low profile tyres, it’s entirely your choice.

A wide choice of colours and spoke style give you the scope to make your van stand out, make it your own, which is why every brand has something slightly different to offer. You could choose a strong and timeless chunky 5 spoke, or go for a more modern approach with an intricate multi-spoke design.

Often darker colour wheels are associated with aftermarket parts, which could be right up your street, but with silver and bronze also making strong options, it might depend on which suit your van colour most, or a black on black for a stealthy look!

Tyres can be an overlooked accessory, just because you have tyres fitted, does not mean they’ll do for the size of wheel you choose, or maybe they’ve seen better days. With tyres being the only point of contact you have with the road, it’s important to make sure you choose a set that will work safely with your van, but also carry the load efficiently too.

Remembering that a heavy campervan conversion will weight more due to the furniture and camping equipment you’ll be carrying, it’s imperative that both the wheels and tyres can take it. You could find a suitable tyre, but unless the wheel can also take that weight, it’s no good!

Check up on the load rating of your Transporter, if it’s a T32 model (3200kg gross weight) then you’ll need to match that with the suitable wheel & tyre load rating to make sure you stay safe, but also on the right side of the law.
