I wanted to know if you could give me some advice.
I am looking at putting some BBS LM alloys on my 1985 T3, I am looking at 8x19 Fronts and 9x19 for the rear- both ET35 – please could you tell me if these will fit?
My Van is currently on custom springs with 110mmm drop front and 100mm drop at the rear
Thanks for your help

The rears will probably foul the sliding door, the fronts will cane the arches and fold the lip out if you hit a bump while turning. You'll get away with it with tight tyres and less lowering, but as you are even with curse word all tyre you'll have to drive so very very carefully to not rip the front arches off. I have 9.5 on the rear and 7.5 up front with similar offsets (after adapters) but maybe -80mm lowering at best, probably less. With 215/35/18 tyres on the front they cleared most of the time, with 225/40/18 it drives a lot better but I have to be very very careful to make sure any kind of camber or bump is taken 100% dead straight. -110mm front springs will give you about 30mm travel before the upper suspension arms smash the seat base. With my -80mm springs they have stoved the seat base in completely over about 2000 miles. It doesn't even look "low" either:
