16" Custom original Alloys onto mark 8 350 with 16" wheels?

Postby simon3314 » Tue May 27, 2025 10:56 pm

I'm looking at a set of these but I'm not 100% if it's a straight swap?

Any advice please?

Thanks

Not sure if the "custom" wheels are load rated for a full T350 van or not..??

Custom wheel's "will fit" but as loot says double check their load rating as often they are not rated high enough for the bigger vans.

Even though your van may never be loaded and therefore wheels will technically be strong enough for your intended use it is not legal and I doubt your insurance would accept it if you told them or cover you if they failed.
