I`m also in the market, i see where people are coming from regarding keeping the load rating of the tyres, but like most others with the small connects i dont really cart loads of stuff about maybe 200kg on a bad day, this is still a lot less than when i had my Focus loaded up to the bollox and 3 passengers to boot on standard car tyres. So fitting alloys and car tyres shouldnt be a problem.

Well I cart around approx. 450-500kg so load ratings do sort of conern me, but plenty of people have told me that extra load car tyres should be ok :?

And yes Belly I so want to do it :lol:

Mostg threads about the load rating of the tyres seem to be full of internet know nothings just talking about how the load rating of the tyre isnt right for a van. They have forgotten that if your putting car wheels on, the car wheen has a lower load rating... alloy wheels are not over engineered, and only have a load rating to match the vehicle they are from!

This means that Focus RS alloys will probably only be rated to 450-500kgs...!!! The tyres are rated higher!!!

There is hope however, aftermarket alloys ARE usually over engineered, for safety, they dont know if they are going on a small or large car, thus most are rated in excess of 600kg ;)

Luckily, they way the "internet know nothings" work, they will now be able to repeat this information where required so I dont have to.

PS, my aftermarket alloys, 650kg if I remember. Devil Mirage.
