Hi all!
Been reading a few posts on the similar subject, but can't find an answer. I'm after original 15" T4 alloys (ideally projekt zwo, did they make 15's for T4??) as trying to change my setup for more comfort - 215x75x15 (225x70x15)
My question is will they fit my T4 model as pretty sure I've read somewhere that 2.5 tdi AHY had bigger brake discs, pads and callipers to deal with more powerful engine. Bought the vehicle with caddy's 16" and 195x65x16 tyres.
Please confirm anyone, reading it over again sounds silly, so slap me in tha face but got to ask.cheers Raf
Thank you, appreciate it. Yours was 102 bhp if I remember correctly, but if brakes are bigger as you say, that's good news to me.
I like those wheelies btw, is it BBS , powder coated in graphite grey??
My best, Raf
They are VW Vortex I think, which was an option on the T4's. Refurbished them myself and thought the graphite looked better with the yellow van. Both sadly gone to different homes. Now I am in the word of T5's but still miss my old T4.
Yes, Vortex, thank you, looking nice, top job! rattle can or more elaborated?
Don't want to go off topic, but very keen on your views on t4 vs t5 subject, handling and suspension(comfort)-wise. Please pm me if more convenient if you could, much obliged.
Yes rattle can job, approx. one can per wheel. With anything prep is the most important thing. Forget how much rubbing down etc was required. I even made a jig to support the wheel when painting so i could do the edges of the rim at the same time. Would probably get them powder coated theses days.
Hi,
Just to update as I've seen few people looking at the post. Found some info on German T4 wiki, contradictory to the advice given in here. Bremsanlage – T4-Wiki
Don't want to slag off akdaka as he might be absolutely correct but for anyone reading it in the future with 16 chassis t4, please bear in mind 15 wheels might be not suitable for the more powerful factory engines.
Still got my lovely 15 projekt zwo's in the garage, bought in a spur of the moment so will probably find out one day once will try and fit it.
Looking for nice 16' at the moment....
Hi thank you, as you can see in the post above my t4 is 16 inch chassis, meaning no 15 inch wheels will fit so thanks but no thanks
