Hello everyone. I have not updated this blog for some time but I still have the T4 Syncro and I now also have a T4 Syncro DOKA that I'm doing another conversion on. I have imported all the posts from this blog into a new blog located here and I plan to update this regularly and also add the backlog of posts for the past few years. I will keep this blog live for prosperity.

Wheel / Tyre swap take 2

I finally had a spare couple of hours today and swapped over the Momo 17" wheels from my 1.9TD to the Syncro (White van to the blue van). I had 4 new tyres fitted to the Momo's the other day, these were 235/55/17 103V GT Tyres. You can see from the photos how much bigger this tyre and wheel combo is compared to the 16" wheels and 205/55/16 tyres which were originally fitted. I measured the height before and after and the ground clearance on the van went up by 35mm. Later that day I took the van out for a drive with my GPS attached and the speedo now reads spot on. The 102TDI had no problem with the larger diameter wheels fitted and had plenty of poke when accelerating or pulling up hills. I apologise that the before and after photos aren't from the same angle but someone came and parked across the road.
