    I've increased mine for better road holding without lowering it and looks better.
    I thought all the brakes are the same size.
    What do you currently have on ours?

    Thanks for that. The 16" do look too small within the wheel arches so I was considering it for this reason...although it didn't seem a good enough one to spend money replacing wheels. Better road holding would be a bonus. I had thought people might have changed mainly for offroad reasons.
    I do not know what size brakes I have (I should get off my ass and check)...I presume standard...I just have the bog standard front wheel drive 103kw lwb transporter with 16" wheels.
    From this thread I got the impression that the 132kw bi turbo had the larger brakes and therefore the larger 17" wheels as standard?
