Default New van

Got myself a 2007 Vw Transporter last week, ive always had transits, connect, escort vans etc but fancied a change. Really pleased with it.

Got this LWB locally, lowered the suspension at the weekend and fitted the wheels tonight. 19x9 and 19x10 BMW X5 alloys. Plan on a few changes and colour change over the next few weeks.

What weight can you stick in the back of them? Like you I have always had transits because they go on for ever and don't realy show the weight when loaded up,
I fancy a change myself I doo like the transporters.

Shouldnt need to as they will have extra load tyres on due to the weight of an X5.

mine is a T28 which means it can carry a tonne in it legally, obviously a T30, T35 can carry a bit more

Suppose so, but they still look too thin on the van...
