colin Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The tyre size will depend on which chassis it's based on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suda Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Ah. Don't know that other than it is for a panel van conversion for Rapido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 First thing would be which model, although I've only seen them on a x2/50, if it is an x2/50 it's proboly on the light chassis, but if it's a 3l might be on maxi chassis, if it's xlwb will be on a maxi chassis. There are two factory option for each chassis, so it could be 215/70-15, 225/70-15, 215/75-16, 225/75-16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The only way you can be sure is to check what is currently fitted by reading the tyre wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Suda - 2014-03-12 7:50 AM Does anybody know the tyre size for a Rapido PVC on a Fiat Ducato chassis please? If you are referring to the current three-model Rapido PVC range (example of V53 model on following link) http://www.rapido-motorhome.co.uk/prod.php?ref=v53&serie=vans the wheel diameter is 15" and the tyre specification will be 215/70 R15 I don't know if Rapido fits 'camping' tyres (eg. 215/70 R15CP 109) to their PVCs or 'commercial' tyres (eg. 215/70 R15C 109/107), though I suspect it will be the latter. (It's usually possible with current Ducato PVCs to make an educated guess at the tyre size based on how much space the wheels take up in the wheel arches. For example, from the 4th photo of the Globecar model (with 16" wheels) shown on this webpage http://www.southdownsmotorcaravans.co.uk/galleries/2013-globecar/2013-globecar-campscout-factory/pixindex.html it's clear that there's significantly more space taken up in the arches than with the Rapido that has 15" wheels.).
