Hi,

I'm new to Vito ownership am looking to fit some alloys to my W638 Vito.

Struggling to find details re load ratings required. Also looking at some Mercedes ML W163 alloys but not sure of their load rating.

Is this info available anywhere or if any body knows this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I've never seen any info on load ratings for rims. Tyres have a load rating which is stamped into the sidewall. I suppose a reasonable guide would be the Plated axle weights on the label attached to the B pillar.

I know Land Rover wheels have it cast on the back of a spoke. No idea if MB ones do.

All you need is proper "load rated" wheels, loads around that will do the job, a friend of mine owns a wheel shop and sells hundreds of van wheels if you want his details
