Following on from my previous post, I've found some 19” bmw x5 tiger claws that i fancy. Am i right thinking id need spigot rings and longer bolts for the wheels but everything else is fine 9j front and 10j at the rear? Would spacers be needed to look right? And what tyres would give me the best balance alround? Thanks again guys, invaluable info on this forum for a newbie like me
No been looking online but no one seems to mention it inc BMW. Theyve been put on t5 and t6’s so must be up there but want to be sure
Well i rang bmw this morning and even they cant give a definitive answer regards load rating for the tigerclaw alloys. The model they were on had a gross weight of around 2700kg and i know people have used them on t5s and sure I've seen them on t6s but want to be sure theyll be ok before i purchase a set.
Sadly bmw dont bother stamping their alloys woth load rating
Hi @Stevey had my posts regards tiger claws moved to your chat. Just wondering if u got anywhere with your request? I've seen some i like but dont know if they will be suitable for my t30??Have tried the search function to no avail.
Does anyone know if these are sufficiently rated for a T32!
Ta.
for t30 I think yes, imagine heavy bmw x5 the weight is same as vw
X5 unladed weight is 2110kg. I cant see them putting wheels on that would be weight rated for a transporter.
I think that you have true, my own opinion is, if you have multivan or another type of vw and you use it only like family car and you dont carry heavy thinks it is safe driving but if you use it like work van it will not be right and safe. ( sorry for my english i am from slovakia)
Had a Google, seem to be a 98 load rating which is only 750kg.
it is really weird because the tires are load rated to 107 (in 19 inch for example) and that is 975kg am i right.
The 98 load rating was only on one site, couldn't find anything definitive.
Your insurance company may have issues with BMW wheels on a VW anyway, probably best to avoid or ask your insurance company for clarity.
