Im new here and I have a Bürstner Viseo Sovereign 700 on a Fiat light chassis with 15 inch wheels. I want to upgrade the weight on the van to 3850kg. Any recommendations for 16 inch wheels 5x118 pcd offset 68? I have found a few but loading is variable. Some steel and alloys are rated at 1075kg max. I’m not sure if I can/should look for something stronger. It looks like 1100kg is the heaviest loading per wheel I can find for this wheel size and pcd. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.

Technical Wheel upgrade question
Don't know if you know but just putting bigger tyres on the vehicle won't uprate it's capacity as it would still be bound by the weight plate on the chassis
Also youd need to fit smaller tyre's to compensate for the bigger wheel's if you don't want to change the vans gearing and Speedo calibration

The wheels are consequential to the whole effort. I need higher tyre ratings. And I can’t get 15 inch camper tyres with a load rating above 109. Will need to update the rear suspension with either air bags or springs and also need to do the front springs. It’s not cheap but cheaper than buying a new van. I can get 16 inch continental Vanco camper tyre with a 116 load rating I think but I need 16 inch 6.5j wheels.
