Will my wheels collapse!

[slowcoach65]

Can someone reassure me?

I've bought a nearly new (900 miles) set of steel wheels, off a T5 panel van that's being converted. I've attached the markings but they are original VW steelies. From what I can see googling, they are load rated (or equivalent) to 840kgs (but I cannot verify this) :?: and the plate in the engine compartment of my '12 Cali SE gives 1550 and 1575kg max loads for the axles.

Oh, by the way, my spare that came with the Cali, appears to have the same markings.

So, I am legal and safe, aren't I :?:

Hope you can alleviate my paranoia

Yes don't worry you take the axle weight and halve it so 1550 kg would be 775kg so 840 kg load rating is fine just make sure the tyres are load rated to at least 101.

Cheers, I shall stop worrying
