Amarok Manaus wheels onto Crafter

[Dave F]

Looking to put my 18”” Amarok alloys onto my crafter they have the same amount of studs and are spaced the same so the question is will they be ok?.
I was going to try them today but the studs have been put on to tight for me to get off.
I realise I will have to Chang the tyres and am a bit gutted because I only sold the new original tyres that they had on last year for £100 to get rid of them.

You'll need to check the load ratings. What are the max permitted front and rear axle weights on the Crafter?

 

[Dave F]

But the actual alloys will be ok ?

 

[dubber36]

I don't know without knowing the axle weight of the van and the load rating of the wheels.

Do the wheels have a load in KG stamped on them?

 

[dubber36]

You can't fit wheels to a vehicle that aren't rated to support it's maximum permitted weight. Even if you never run it fully laden, that doesn't matter. It has to comply.

This is the van but can’t make out what’s on the back of the wheels

 

[Dave F]

181?

A quick Google suggests the Amarok has a GVW of about 3300 kg, which is less than your Crafter.
I know we should work with axle weights, but as an approximation I would say they aren’t sufficiently load rated.

I've been reading the internet trying to find the load rating of your wheels. Most Amarok wheels are around the 1000 - 1050KG rating, but that's not to say yours are. You'll need to do some digging to find out for sure.

From your VIN tag, I'd say you maximum axle load is 2100KG, but check in your handbook. If it is, you'll need wheels rated to support a minimum of 1050 KG.

Hopefully that will give you enough pointers to do your own research, but like Pete says, they are probably not quite up to the job.

Thank you I’ll have a look but it was only because I had them I was thinking of fitting to my crafter.
They are up for sale as well so will add better pictures to the add as they are clean.
thanks again
