Tyres L3 H2 FWD

Postby B12TY B » Sat Feb 10, 2018 9:12 am

Hi again, I’m thinking of getting some 225-75-16’s on the original steels.
Any advice on if you can go bigger?
Or as anyone got 18” alloys on? If so what size tyres on them?
Thanks in advance for any info :D

What's your van's Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM)? I.e. it would be e.g. 3100, 3300, 3500 etc.

You need to consider load rating of wheels and tyres. I was unable to find appropriately load rated tyres for 18" wheels for my 3300 L3H3. Hence I stuck with the existing steels.
