The loaded or unloaded issue does not matter in law/mot/ insurance... It's the vehicles max designed capabilities and what it means to the load rating of the tyre
Good point
There's a full on thread regarding load rating on here......just make sure you tell your insurance you've changed them from factory
yes i know were meant to run 104/106?? off top of my head on the t32? but then hearing this its, its like, run what you want hahaha
I think he is pertaining to the axle limits as stated on your vehicle's vin plate - they are what decide the wheel and tyre rating you require in order to be safe at the axle load limit.
As a committed 17" fan, is it time to take a risk........

I haven't trawled the net yet re costs, but if they last like the Nokians, 35K miles later, and they aren't even close to wearing out; I'm just getting bored with them; I keep thinking they may be getting noisy; but it may be all in my mind!19s are the new 20s

They do look far nicer in Grey than Silver.
The point where the spoke meets the rim looks a bit vulnerable to kerb damage, as they project.
On Amaroks they have a 255 tyre OE, which offers 5mm more protection

Transporter HQ ran a set on low profile winters. He hasn't mentioned them being particularly prone to damage.
By the skin of the teeth for the Vel 102 are just OK
There where loads of Canteras 19" on flea bay for around £650-£700 brand new with a set of 4 with brand new tyres (which are too big for a T6)
Raceline had loads at one point. But I think Amaroks models have changes slightly, so there isn't so many about.
They do look great
Which tyres type/size are you running?
Has kerb damage been a problem for you yet?
There is something about the ~All-Weather tyres; they are fine price wise at 17"; and go mental as you move up to 19"/20". But they do seem to last a very long time
I’m running these wheels and the profile does sit proud. Just don’t go kissing every kerb in sight and you’ll be fine.
