Does anyone know what load rating Roll Royce wheels are? Looking at some 19s.
I know they're Tanks, but want to be sure.

T32 Wheel Options.

Also just for info had this message from 3SDM.
"From our cast range, the 20" 0.66-HD is tested at 950-1150kg depending on size.
All of our 1pc forged wheels can also be tested to a sufficient load for that vehicle.
We are in the process of increasing the test load on a number of our other cast wheels to 875-895kg but they won't be ready until later in the year."

Just for a minute I thought you'd proped up a 19" wheel for comparison.......
@Sackmycook I can only hear bad reviews about 20inch wheels as daily ride.
The wheel sizing also goes hand-in-hand with suspension too. Mine is sitting on Bilstein B14's which make the van much more compliant and comfortable compared to stock VW suspension.
If you're on VW suspension, I think you'll not notice a change in ride quality with 18's or 19's but you probably would with 20's.
I'm currently running 18's on STX coilovers wound down. I travel around London a couple of times a week and have no issues with speed bumps.
Potholes however, are everywhere and some of them you cannot avoid.
You should look at uprated anti-roll bars. The reduction in roll that gives, without having to up the spring stiffness is what helps gives you the "sporty" feel.
Load ratings are all good and size should work, as long as they aren’t a crazy offset and they are 5x120 PCD with a CB off at least 65.1
Many thanks … buyer says ET is 51 and they came off a T6.. so hopefully will be good?

I think if you have the bigger brakes (did they even do these on a t5?) you need a minimum 17” wheel for brake clearance, clarence
Current (stock) wheels on it are 16”
Apologies if this has been asked/answered before, but just a thought on changing wheel sizes, does this affect the speedo accuracy. I appreciate that larger wheels have lower profile tyres to counter this but is there a definitive diameter which should be aimed for. Also, should the spare wheel be checked to match this diameter ?
Yes the wheel size will throw the speedo out as well as potentially impact your performance as the engine has to work harder for every revolution of the wheels
There's a few sites which share this detail - this is one I use

I went from the stock wheels to some 19" 255/50 and it was too big a jump - 19" 255/45 is what I'll be going for next

Tire size comparison the easy way. Use our tire size comparison calculator to compare diameter, width, sidewall, circumference and revolutions per mile.

Love these, sadly only available in 20”, looking to swap my alloys to 19” now. Gutted as I love these.
