    The 16" rims (steel or alloy) won't fit over the calipers of anything but the base models of the T5/T5.2/T6. You need 17" plus to fit.

    I like the look of the T5 17” steel rims that my 4mo came with in 2005. They’re still available and well priced from the VW spare parts.

    A question please..................any idea whether the Amarok 16" steelies fit on my 2008 T5 Doublecab motion. Reason I ask is they are wider and carry the 245/65/16 tyres?

    Won't fit I'm afraid.

    Its not the width that is the problem, its the diameter. 16" wont clear the brake calipers.

    Ok, thanks. Thought as we are only talking a couple of mm as I discovered when I tried unsuccessfully to fit the 16" Amarok alloy rims, I was thinking the 16' Amarok steelies having much thinner thickness walls might fit.

    You could try the steelies, but 17" Amarok alloys are really cheap (with tyres even) on gumtree and FB marketplace, so I' go there 1st.

    Ok Guys................picked up, (more like stole) a set of 17" Amarok alloy rims with good roadworthy 245/65/17 Duelers that fit like a glove and improved the looks of the double cab muchos.

    Now got another question.............will a 17" Amarok alloy rim with a 245/65/17 tyre fit in the spare wheel tray of the T5 Transporter Doublecab??

    This is something only a few would be able to tell us, I'd think this 1 is on you to discover and share

    I know Guy H had similar on his T5 doublecab, but he has a V6 Amarok now and does not visit that often anymore.
