- In our quest to make the most practical VW Transporter possible, we fit new wheels, suspension and a few exterior details
I'm not saying this is the most practical suspension, but I do think around this height is the best.

I really like those wheels. Works well with the black bumper and wheel arches 👍🏻 I’d drive around in that and be proud of it.
Turned out well didn’t it 😊
Looks really good on those wheels and low. The colour is so good 👌🏼
It looks even better in person.
The nicest looking commercial style Transporter I've seen.🤩 The blue looks so sweet against the all the black bits. Great job.😎
Thank you 🙌🏻
Looks so much better. Love the wheels 👏🏼
Yeah so please we switched wheels. I’m really liking these.
i realize it's kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch new series online ?
Killin it as always transporter hq !!!!
Thank you sir ❤️
Great looking wheels/tyres and so the right colour..
🙌🏻❤️
Lots of data and like always thank you👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Glad to help 😊
Wow! Fanatics in the best sense. My van is like a rolling skip with doors
That’s an easy fix with the right suspension 😊
@@THQAutomotive sus* is the least of her worries.
sick van
Yeah it turned out good right. Looking forward to working on the inside soon.
I run these exact same tires, general grabbers at3's in 235/55-18 on my T6.1 150 4 motion manual and i found that the 3% speedo difference puts me spot on with actual speed and indicated speed so no need for me to calibrate it.
Its very strange, I have seen this too. I have also seen other vans that seem to be out by 7% plus.
Excellent, need a light upgrade. Just got a 6.1and fitted your sport comfort springs so I’ll be watching with credit card in hand!!!
They are nice simple cheap mod 😊
Headlights are finally coming? 🙌 I've got my money ready and waiting!
Yep, what’s this space 😉
@@THQAutomotive seriously can't wait for these!! I think I've only been pestering you since November! 🤣
@@A5SEN. good things come to those that wait 😉
Second this comment, can't wait to see these 👌👌 (and get some on the van ASAP!)
@@grumpyoldman7225 we’ll update as soon as the samples come 😊
Hi THQ Team.......have you guys moved any further forward on the upgrade for the Startline lights? Reason being; I'm just about to look at ordering a new T6.1 (Pure Grey) and love the commercial look, but would like to have much better lights. I'm currently flipping my build on the VW website between Startline and Highline (with LED's), but think the HL won't look as great with the wheel arch/body mouldings, as it does with the commercial front and rear bumpers. Can't stretch to a 4Motion, but intend to lower and fit similar wheels as your project van, to give a me a versatile family bus!
Now you’ve ditched the 18 coverts, I might just be the first with them on a lowered T6.1 (2 weeks to go) They’ll look mint with Indium Grey. Hadn’t give the arches much thought, but I like them. The most important thing of this build is the Ovano dog version. I need this 👌
Top stuff Andy.
Looking forward to seeing that 👌
@@THQAutomotive 👍
Looks 👌 & love sunstrip! They going on sale?
Yes mate they are. We’ll add them to the website early next week
What brand of arch trims do you guys use? I need some for my T5. Any does and don't when it comes to arch trims?
Bilstein Germany and also we found out many years ago that Monotube does not work on this platform at the front axle ! All the B6 + B8 which had intially Monotube damping at the front was switched to Twintube to avoid the trouble with terrible noises at the front transmitted directly into the cockpit ! Some had these problems from the first day and some had this problem after half a year/ year . Thats why the B14 + B14 KOMFORT for this platform has TWINTUBE at the front + Monotube at the rear axle. Therefore it is absolutely important that the front dampers are NOT monotube at this T5 T6 T6.1 platform !
We’ll see I guess. We just wanted to try this before we put it on the 1000 BHP Tesla van and before we sent it round the Nürburgring. Total overkill on this van but a good test mule.
Any closer to completion on the flush windows??
How big offroad Tire on 16" rim can you fit on factery suspension
Looks spot on! 👌🏻 will these tyres effect fuel consumption much? I want this look but the van is already pretty thirsty! 😬
Yes a little but not much at all
@@THQAutomotive improves the consumption though yea?? 🤣 Thank you for the reply!
What are the measures of the wheels and tyres?? Thanks!
What width are the wheels please and offset
Can we buy these dampeners yet??
Is this wheel and tyre combo available to buy from you guys?
Yes no problem. They’re on our website or email mikey@transporterhq.co.uk
Where’s episode 1? Would love to know the spec of the van itself.
It's on our channel
Hi there,
AS you fitted B14s to my t5.1 Can you supply these wheels and tyres. Need something we can use off road, as now living in Spain.
Yeah sure. Speak to transporterhq.eu if you are based in Spain
@@THQAutomotive still back and forth uk. Back last two weeks in September hoping to get a few things done. First is wheels and tyres
@@juanescalera1817 If your in the UK, we can help no problem
Can you get this wheel set or similar
@@juanescalera1817 Yes, we have some colour versions in stock.
You say 275/40 are wrong, what should you run on 20" wheels for a T32?
265/40/20 will give you the correct load rating and a better rolling radius. So many sell 275/40 as the are cheap.
@@THQAutomotive Thanks good to know... I thought the 275 measurement was the wheel width? Wont that make the tyre look narrower than the wheel?
@@matthewlaw8268 depends on the width of the wheels. 275/40’s normally look very balloon like and poke out from the wheels. The 40 part is a percentage of the width.
@@THQAutomotive ok thanks I thought that all wheels that took 275 tyres were the same width. I am about to purchase new wheels which come with 275/40 all round. They are staggered so 8.5 front and 10 rear. Are these numbers the widths and should they put 265/40 on the front wheels?
@@matthewlaw8268 use willtheyfit.com as I guide. I would start with a standard davenport size 215/60/17 which it a 7” wide wheel. Then compare to your wheel and tyre choices.
I want these wheels I want them now
In stock on the website 😉
@@THQAutomotive I know and so does the wife😬
@@lleo100 🤦🏻♂️😂
275/40 20 is wrong of course.
275/35 20 is the way to go.
Correct. Or if it’s a T32 then 265/40/20
Did you say ovano dog edition bed?!
Yes I did 😉
@@THQAutomotive splendid 🤩
Nice wheels but don’t like the lowering
not everyones cup of tea. Lowering like this makes the ride, handling, comfort, sway and body roll soooo much improved though.
@@THQAutomotive I understand.
First to arrive lol
Quick as a cat 🐱 😉
surely with MUD on the plate it should be lifted lol
It can still go on mud and its still got plenty of clearance. It just look away cooler because its lowered ;)
@@THQAutomotive it does look cool, just amused me with the plate 😂
Stop taunting us with unobtainium coil overs that are rareer than unicorn shite LOL.
Haha, we are very privileged. Not actually practical at all but this is a good test mule. B14 komfort LOW would give you the same look.
