Episode 3 – 2006 VW Transporter T5: Wheel Change!

In this episode, I finally ditch the 20" wheels with those ridiculous "elastic band" tires and swap them out for a set of BMW X5 18" wheels wrapped in proper meaty rubber. The result? A much better ride, improved stance, and a setup that actually suits the Transporter’s character.

I walk through the full fitting process, share why I made the switch, and give you a close-up look at how the new wheels transform the van’s look and feel. Whether you're into van builds, camper conversions, or just love a good wheel upgrade — this one's for you.

🔧 What’s covered:

Removing the stretched 20" wheels

Fitting BMW X5 18" wheels
