   I live in austria, im buying a set of melbers 15 " not just because they look trick but also i can fit discs to the rear and have done with those pesky drums! I drive a 2wd tintop van, converted to camper.
i have to somehow find out, for the mot

a. is the rear axle weight somewhere around 1200kg?

b. as the melbers are penta and formally made for mercs what/whereto find their loading limit.

c. for mot day i could fit a set of scorpio steels 6j 15" with the right tyre they will be inside the tolerance for the speedo reading but where to find out the scorpio loading?

you may think this is a tad pedantic but if i get the bits right they can see, then they may not delve into some other mods i have

if anyone could be of assistance, id be forever grateful

	Axle weights here: http://www.johnfreelancedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cara_transporter-manual_83_72to811.pdf The wheels themselves may have their load rating stamped in the back (along with size and ET) Edited by chris7ian - 26 Apr 14 at 20:10
