19" wheels with load rating

[mreddie]

I have a T5 with 18x8 wheels but would like to go bigger.

Does anyone have 19" wheels or larger?
If so, do yourwheels and subsequent tyres have the required load rating?

Or do I not really need to worry about it?

thanks for your help.

I would like to suggest you should get appropriately load rated wheels and tyres in case of any insurance issues you wouldn't want a failure to cause a liability you can't afford.

There are 29 pages on tyres here T5 Tyres 17" what is available in OZ and as Tony Max says make sure of load rating .If you look back through the previous pages on the home page under the main page listing there are hundreds of posts and the wheel thing has been covered many times before .

Yes, this is the question for me. I also am concerned about insurance problems.

It seems that the 19" wheels themselves are not really the problem.
My experience has been it is impossible to find the tyres with the required load rating.

I think I did source one particular 19"tyre from Pirelli but it cost $400 p/tyre!

I have read many threads about wheels but noting really about tyres.
I was wondering if anyone else was using legal load rated tyres for 19" or above.


thanks again for your input.

Rims are from An amarok so load rated (??) it I thought tyres were 102 (850kg) were ok?

Again this was covered just a few weeks ago a fellow member posted his tyre placard sticker showing the tyre ratings for t the various models . Need help from a T6 Multivan owner seems the bigger rim sizes need higher rating tyres ie 17,s and 18,s need 103 16,s look like can go to 102 . the specs shown in the placard photos relate to Multivans I would have to check with our Transporter specced one to be certain.

Hi mate I am a bit unsure about the method you used. Since load rating is related to GVM, imho regardless of the different ratings listed on your tire placard, you only need to meet the minimum requirement. Like I wanna go 19' on my T5 but the placard has no 19' specification, how do you infer the figure?
