Thought I had a T32...

I wasn't sure where to put this thread...

For some reason I thought I had a T32 (Not really sure why I got this in my head!) and as such have been looking for load rated wheels.

Had to check my paperwork for something last night it all says T30 SWB Highline etc etc.

So I checked the plate in the engine bay and I'm pretty convinced its a T30 now, would someone be able to corroborate?

Engine bay plate
e1.2007/46.0130
WV*************13
3000kg
5200kg
1 - 1610kg
2 - 1600 kg
_______________
Typ 7J0

Many thanks

That’s definately not the axle weights for a T32, which are 1710kg and 1720 kg. You definately have a T30.
Well done, now you have access to a much wider range of alloy wheels.

Woop woop! That changes a few things now....

Lucky bugger. Wish I'd made that mistake.

Great news ,as long as you didn't claim the vat back for a t32 .

I'd love to have claimed the VAT back either way but it's a private vehicle. Still a win on the T30 though...

Does that mean the Alloys don’t need to be load rated?

They still have to be load rated ,just slightly lower ,but more options for a t30

As @carlg says, thy still need to meet half of the axle weight I.e 1610kg rear axle means 805 per rear wheel and 1600kg front axle means 800 per front wheel, so 4x 805kg rated wheels. From a tyre perspective you will need 101y’s which are rated to 825kg.
So whilst you do still need to make sure you get wheels capable of holding this weight, you have a far greater range to choose from rather than the minimum 860kg per wheel that we need to have on our T32’s.
