Wheel Swap Help

[Jonny]

Hey guys, now all of you are much smarter than me and I need some help...

I'm taking my car in to get some work done of which some new wheels being fitted.

I think this gives me a cheap opportunity to get some new shoes added to the T6 too.

So...I've been looking online for load ratings on what I already own. I've actually had some difficulty even finding any info on these wheels.

2017 Audi A4 OEM Wheel Rim Polished Charcoal 8W0601025M 18x8 ET40 | Wheels | Wheels, Tires & Parts - Zeppy.io

That's a link to my wheels I already have on the car which I would like to slap on the van.

They look chunky enough but lord knows the T32 is picky bugger.

Aaaaanywho... Where should I be looking to find the right info?

They wouldnt be a straight swap, they are 5/112 PCD and the T6 is 5/120 so the bolt holes wont line up
Given that they come of a car i doubt the load rating would be correct

But thank god for this forum!

Cheers mate.

I would've believed "mythical magic" TBH

Just to share my thought process though... I see a fair few transporters on the Audi Rotors. There's me thinking you can just do a straight swap?!? Are these people changing something else to get those to fit?

They might be copies and not original

There are plenty of aftermarket copies around like TTRS wheels and the 20 inch sportlines
