that profile on a 195 would screw up the speedo accuracy too, 90 load rating is even a bit low for yer average car tyre! :?

Ok, well basically, they are wolfrace alloys with tyres on them, the tyres were used on a car, the profile pretty much matches the original wheels, and I saw these codes on them, I see that on a thread on volkszone someone said that a load rating of 90 was alright for the t25 because they wouldn't be loading the axles up with that kind of load anyway! And I don't really know much about the codes!

iirc.vw state a minimum of 97 for 14 inch wheels.so your insurance company wont be very happy if you use anything below the recommended rating should you have an accident...

I get you. After surfing the web It seems that it's a bit of a topic with different opinions re load ratings on t25s, I learned a bit about this and I appreciate your input. I will def remember this for the future!
