Winter wheel sets for VW T5

The VW Transporter T5 (Series 7E) is one of Europe's most widely used commercial vehicles. Whether as a panel van, Multivan, Caravelle, or Transporter – the T5 has extremely varied axle loads and often reinforced braking systems, depending on engine, wheelbase, number of seats, and equipment.

For safe winter driving, all T5 variants require special winter complete wheels that ensure high load capacity values, tested brake clearance, and the correct rolling circumference.

Reifenshop Landshut offers winter wheels that are 100% compatible with all T5 models.

🔧 Why the VW T5 needs special winter complete wheels

1. Extremely high commercial vehicle load capacities

The T5 is one of the heavier vans:

• high axle loads front & rear

• XL/C tire load index required
  → Rims must meet transporter load capacity standards.

2. Different brake systems depending on the model

Multivan & 2.0/2.5 TDI, VR6:

• wide brake calipers

• large brake discs
  → Only brake-clearance-tested rims are suitable.

3. 4Motion requires exact rolling circumference

The all-wheel drive system requires:

• identical tire circumferences

• uniform tread depths
  → Deviations harm the Haldex system.

4. Commercial Vehicle = special ET values & rim widths

Incorrect ET leads to:

• contact with chassis components

• impaired steering geometry

5. Winter operation under load

Winter tires must offer:

• robust tread blocks

• high lateral stability

• strong wet & snow grip
