Intra! ;-) 8J 20 offset. Rears are 9J. Might have to shave the lip but not expecting to roll. Couldn't believe how well they fitted - just hoping I haven't missed something in the info sections to rule this out. |

Cool, camera a little twisted as well, there's more clearance than that I'd say at lest 3-4mm :-)

is the van lowered at the moment? the very tip of the upper wish bone is the bit to worry about, best way to tell is to jack up with a trolly jack on the underside of the lower suspension arm rather than having the suspension at full extention.
are they 16 or 17"
being intra and looking at the pic im thinking 17?
8x17 et 20 will be fine.. normaly an 8x17 needs et 30 - et 28 on the front

WHY T3's.... because they are just so adictive, and having one just aint enough

18 T3. The 80-90 wiki's wheel write up made me choose them in the hope I clear it ok. I had the axle stand under the axle, would that not drop the suspension?
It did seem that the Bilstein jack even on the back mount seemed to jack the whole side up a bit though so maybe it was skewed. Need some rubber on I guess and put it on the ground. I think it'll be real tight but clearance in arches seems ok I think with 45s possibly 50 profile tyres on lock.

8x18 et 20?
if so it will be close-ish to the arch lip. tyre size will be the key.
i had 8.5 x 18 et20 genuine RS4 (before all the cheap copy rims came along..lol) on a t3
on a standard hight t3 with 235 40 18 front tyres it was ok. but with some weight in it things got closer.
225 45 18 would probably be best on the front.
225 40 are not sold in a high enough load rating for a t3.
i have seen 215 55 18 used too but starts to get a little large in overall diameter / rolling radius on a lowered van. then a 235 50 18 used on the back. these can be found in 100 load ratings, well enough for a t3.

So my half a j less should be sweet with et 20. Rears are 9J but looking to go big for gearing (although I may be screwed for power bands until I get a new engine. 1.6cs currently *eek*. So can you not get 225/50/18s much? 45 is fine if not.
Not lowered yet that's the next bit, I'd like to go 70 really but need to understand the camber adjustment in the flesh really. Can't wait tbh it's a PITA clambering in and out of stock ride height, can't be good hanging 15 stone of the steering wheel all the time. |

Just seen your 18" AMG rims on the Doka from your for sale ad, what's the drop you're running on those? Lovely.

I thought the minimum 'accepted' clearance was 6mm?
As an aside, I ran Intra 18x8.5J on a ET34 and always wished for 8J's... the I swapped to 17x7.5J ET34 and still needed to run a 3mm spacer because of the smaller diameter. That said, both rims made contact between the tyres and arches on full lock across camber, but after I replaced the -70mm springs with -50mm it was all good :) |
