Ducato wheel question

Didn’t have any facts worth checking

As for ground clearance when I renewed my front struts I also put a 40mm spacers on top of them so raising them and it worked well .

I had to adjust my iveco torsion arms at front as van to low and hitting the bump stops, had to reset the tracking after doing so.
Van now level and a much better ride.

Thanks. All good info.
The max axle weights are 1,850kg and 2,000 kg. I can't find a Fiat resource which confirms which chassis type this corresponds to. Can anyone direct me to one?

That's a light chassis. maxi is 2,100kg and 2,400kg.

10 points as correct, but whats the point of fitting bigger wheels and low profile, more damaged rims with potholes along with a harder ride, and no gain in fuel as ratio the same.

looks. Some people actually care about what they drive looks like.

Yes Wildebus, I had this issue with the locating lugs. Only spotted by eagle eyed local fitter who wasn't 100% satisfied with the way the alloys were seating. Another fitter might have just done the bolts up tight and left it at that. The lugs which prevent the alloys seating properly just unscrew. No need to cut them off.

I was thinking it is possible on a older van the lug/bolt might be rusted on tight and potentially will not undo without snapping.

I did not have to remove the locating pins when fitting my alloys but want I did get was an extra one and a half inches either side wider track as the alloy had a different offset which make the wheels look way nicer.
