Thread: 2010-2012 Wheel Load Rating

D4 max rear axle weight is 1855kg. D4 19" rims are 8" wide whereas their 20" are 8.5" wide. I'll fit D4 19" rims when my 275/55R20 need replacing if an acceptable 255/60R19 tyre is available.

Is you desire for 8.5" for 20" or for 19"? If for 19", I'm curious as to what size tyre requires 8.5" width.

As advised re my rims for sale, they are 8.5 wide and load rating 940kg.

I was under the impression that the 8.5 rims were the ADR compliant fitment, no smaller, the same as the load rating.

Only 19x8 are listed as L322 original or optional 19" rims in Microcat.

RRS tend to have wider rims which presumably is for less squirm when pushed on corners but increased risk of side-wall damage off the bitumen.

Thanks Graeme
I had it in my head they were 8.5x19 rims;

Triumph Rover Spares normally have 20" L322 rims (last one I bought was $350.!). I have 20" 55/275R20 Cooper Zeons fitted to my 2012 L322 4.4TDVB.

I'm after a set of wheels either 19"or 20" that are legal. One thing I've noticed is the lack of 2nd hand vogue wheels available, the earlier wheels are rated at 925kg but are 8"rims , and I need a minimum of 8.5 so what are my other options; what D4 or RRS rims are legal ? excepting aftermarket rims at this stage.

Well after replacing my 255/55/19 tyres and 9.0j rims with 275/45x20 on 9.5j rims I can't believe the difference it has made to the old girl Ride quality and handling was great before, now even better even my wife noticed the difference, a very cost effective upgrade from the 19"wheels.
