anyone no about these

Hiya

must say I am always worried about the weight bearing capacity of wheels when people adapt something from a car fitment and use them on a van.

anyone else got any views on that?

PS; what paintwork is the van having done if you get it?

If you are gonna use the van loaded with car wheels then yes but unladen then there wont be a problem.

Yeah it's certanly somthing that needs thinking about before you do it, as with all modifications!

Ive altered my mk1 to run on mercedes PCD which at 112mm is smaller than Transit (160mm) PCD - but it's the same as Merc Vito tho obviously im gonna loose some strength in doing it - which is why on the fronts (the ones which take most forces) ive added a centre boss - which the transit never had. The rears ive done slightly different read here on how i did them.

The wheels i chose are a strong quality wheel, they wernt cheep either - i wouldnt reccoment fitting these cheep lesser brand alloys to a vehicle the size, weight and height of a transit! Just looking at some alloys you can see they have less strength that others - the thin 5 spoke types for example - and although they look good i wouldnt want to fit them on a transit.

My van i'd confidently load to the max and feel safe with it- even though the van will never get that but as MrMpuk says if you are regularly commercially using and abusing your van (especially if you are letting others drive it ) then these sort of mods are probly not the best idea!!
