I've got a picture of a red t25 on my twitter with Porsche 22's it must have been heavily modified as its been slammed to the floor and only 2/3rds of the wheel is showing. Ill find the link

Think I'd be looking at GVW, rather than kerb weight. A quick google suggests that even a Mondeo estate has a GVW around 2.4t, compared to 2.5t on our vans.


Good point chap!

Sorry but that looks ridiculous. That wheel is way to big for this sytle of van IMHO.

I agree.. gross weight is the important bit.. But also a lot of OE quality wheels are forged and over engineered..

Only Syncro's have a GVW of 2.5t... 2wd max is 2390kgs
Unless the 2wd van was specced with the factory HD suspension option, where the GVW is 2.6t.. Very rare...

But.. I dare bet most campers are loaded to more than that when going on holidays etc.. you would be surprised at how much an "empty" camper weighs..
