    The father got 2 brand new VW caddy rims with brand new load rated tyres given to him.
    The tyre size is the same as my berlingo.
    Does anyone know if the rims are the same and I can just swap them or do I need to swap the tyres and leave the rims alone?

    Thanks lads.

    Your wheels have 4 holes in them, Caddy’s have 5.

    Only the 96-03 Caddy had 4 stud wheels, the newer ones are 5 stud.

    Either way they’re a different stud pattern to your berlingo and the centre hole won’t go onto your hub.

    Are you certain it’s a Caddy they’re off?

    Yep 100%. My uncle works for Donnelly group in the north and they convert the caddys for wheelchair use. The spare wheel is taken off them...my uncle managed to wangle 2 and that's how my dad got them!!

    Wouldn’t have thought Kleber tyres would be on a new van of any description.

    PSA use them as OE fitment on some models.

    That actually looks like a Berlingo wheel to me. See the way the holes near the rim are big/small every second one.

    Yeah it's the spare. The uncle drives the vans from north to south or to the boat for export to England. He managed to get 2 of the rims from one of the lads doing the conversion.

    Looks the same to me.

    It's a strange one colm cause he definitely works for the Donnelly group and it's definitely caddys that are being converted for wheelchair use.

    I'm investigating this further!!

    They’re also Peugeot and Citroen dealers AFAIK.
