Anyone using OZ Rally Raid ET 0 wheels?

Corradobrit · Aug 13, 2023

I'm curious how a set of zero offset 17" OZ Rally Raid wheels would look on a T6/T6.1 that is at factory ride height. Do the tyres and rims protrude too far. What effect does adding positive scrub radius have on the handling and tyre wear? Please post pics if you have this setup.

Isn’t a cali but standard set up on t32 LWB didn’t notice any extra protruding compared to when I had a cali on 235/55/17
Done 7000miles on them tyre wear was fine, Oz make great quality wheels

Loz has a set on his cali, if he’s still on here. If not look on T6 forum as he’s on there

Were they ET 35 or 0? There are 2 variants available. I checked out @Loz posts and the only photos he posted here were of the wheels off the Cali after he installed Pirelli Scorpions. Those show he was using ET35's and his Cali was raised 30mm.

You’ve lost me on et35 or 0
Bought mine from rogue alloys and they were a direct fit on t6.1 and tyres from black circles website good discount if you wait for Black Friday

Won’t this screw up the clearance to the rear sliding door? 35 mm is quite a big shift.
Regarding your bump steer/scrub radius, I’d imagine you’d feel quite a difference!

By the way, ride height has no effect on scrub radius, it remains constant.

The difference between ET35 and stock ET55 is only 2cm. Lots of people are running these wheels and no issues with catching the sliding door. I could potentially see an issue with the a full off road knobbly and bulbous tyre but I will be going a more conservative tyre route probably Michelin Cross Latitude if they come out with a 3 peaks version.
Scrub radius is only a concern with the ET0 wheels but I have discounted this option as far too aggressive anyway.

I’m confused, I thought you were going zero offset?

Question was if anyone is running ET0 wheels. Clearly, at least from my research, no-one is going that extreme. I think the ET0 is for lifted Amarok applications. ET35 seems the sweet spot for the Cali.

Front arch outer edge is the critical area regarding offsets.
I trial fitted 45 offset with a 235/55/18 tyre on an Amorak 7.5" width rim and had virtually no clearance with suspension on a low setting (not lowest).
From that and sliding door issues I'd stick to as close to standard 55mm offset as possible. Many wheels seem to be aimed at Amoraks which have 10mm less offset than Transporters.
