TRANSPORTER T7 2025> ALLOY WHEELS & TYRES

Unless you’re splashing out on a kitted out MSRT model, it’s likely that your new VW Transporter T7 looks fine, but standard alloys just won’t make the cut, especially with what’s on offer.

Here at Vanstyle, there’s lots of choice in colour, offset and size to kit your van out exactly the way you had planned. We do the hard work hand picking the selection, working out the best fits, and pairing them with the tyres that will keep your van shiny side up. There’s lots to consider when deciding on where to buy your new wheels and tyres, and lots of downfalls to making the wrong decision, so use our expertise and let us help you make the right choices.

All our wheel choices are load rated for commercial use, which means they’re designed to a higher load capacity, absolutely essential for your van. The tyres we select to complement our wheels are chosen with vehicle loads in mind, this is often overlooked when it comes to converted campervans, where furniture and hardware sneakily ramp up the weight of your vehicle, but we’ve got you covered.

It’s real-world fitment that matters, and as we try these wheels on Vanstyle’s own Transporter T7, we know exactly how they’ll fit, giving you the confidence to know you’ll be happy with your new rims. Stocking brands such as Calibre and Momo, we know that they all have slightly different offerings to cater to everyone’s tastes, but we keep adding and updating our range as more wheels are developed and released. If there’s a style you’re after but you can’t see it on our site, get in touch!

The traditional sporty style used to comprise of a relatively normal size wheel, chunky five-spoke design, with normal tyres wrapped around them. Those days are gone, upgrade and change your look completely! Modern designs can still have retro heritage themes, but others will use delicate spokes and machined faces to give a more intricate look, showing off brake calipers instead of hiding them away.

When we first fitted a set of alloys to our Transporter T7, we looked at 18-inch wheels, which, as a pretty pampered vehicle, don’t need to hold lots of weight. Overnight we may have accidentally treated it to some 20-inch wheels, which look and fit fantastic. Paired with a lowering spring kit, they really fill out the arches and give it a much sportier look without catching or rubbing on arches.

18-inch wheels generally give a tyre choice suited to carrying more weight, not to mention can work out a fair bit cheaper. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, we’d definitely recommend 18-inch wheels, keeping your weight- carrying options open too.

FAQ:

Q: Will 20-inch wheels rub on the arches of my VW Transporter T7?
A: It’s all a combination of suspension, component wear, and wheel fitment. Generally speaking, you shouldn’t experience any issues, but as our van has an easy life and shows minimal signs of wear, it does not rub or catch on the arches on full steering lock (even though it’s lowered!)
