load rating for rims & tyres for caravelle

[vwtyp2]

Does a T4 Caravelle have the same load rating requirements for the rims and tyres as a Transporter?
I assume it would be less as the Caravelle is a passenger vehicle.
Can someone please tell me the load rating requirements for a T4 Caracelle?
Many thanks.

In simple terms......yes. Certainly for the front axle as both models share everything up front. Rear axle load capacity depends on the springs and the 'Velles often had light capacity springs in them. But in all truth....wheels and tyres share the same basic load specs. The main difference will be that a T4 Transporter will have a tyre placard (drivers side b pillar below the door lock) that mostly refers to 15" wheels and tyres whereas the Caravelle may refer mostly to 16" wheels on its placard.....and when in doubt....always follow the placard.
