The arches sit on the tyres. The straps will sort it. Got 18's to try too.

Just had a chat with the guys at VDub Monkeys in Coalville, Leics - very helpful bunch.
Anyway bought their adjustable strap kit with fittings, £42 delivered.
Yep not the cheapest but by the time I'd shopped the components, fittings and straps from a variety of sources and shipped it, it actually ended up at £38!
Their advice was worth the additional £4! Once its all in place I might have a pair of fixed length straps made up too.
Here's some more helpful info for those wishing to run Sachs HD shock part #'s 105819 & 105820.
I'm using VW T4 SACHS upgrade replacement oil filled shocks, "HD Super Touring" version these are shorter than the standard units.
Front open length 311.15mm (12 1/4"), closed length 222.25mm (8 3/4")
Rear open length 336.55mm (13 1/4") closed length 241.3mm (9 1/2")
This might help others size their springs and setups correctly.
Need to get the tyres fitted to the 18"s next and take it from there.Last edited by Activ8; 3 October 2020, 01:26 PM.

Took a look at the strap kit this morning. Received the VDUB Monkeys Rear Suspension Limiting Kit last week, its well packaged with corporate looking box tape. Contains a kit for the T4, 91 to 03. £42 delivered.
Two adjustable straps, sticker, fixings & a clear 3 page "how to" (see pics) packed inside. I haven't read through the guide or applied it to the van for fitting yet. Might just have a read up and make sure its being suggested correctly.
Fixed length straps are available online at around £12 each + p&p. These are made to measure pieces but I opted for adjustables as the rear ride height and setup are unknown currently and may change in the future.
I'll post up more once Ive had a read.

What do you think to these commercial rims? 8J x 18 ET25 5/112 900kg
Picked three gloss black pieces up boxed new for £28.71 each delivered at the beginning of 2019 and finally last week picked the same wheel up new boxed albeit in silver for £36.46.
Just need to colour match them, satin or matt black? Carbon grey?
