Rims for Campervans. A guide to the right choice for your motorhome
A campervan places entirely different demands on its rims than an ordinary car. A high gross weight, long distances and long periods standing still call for rims with the right load capacity, the right bolt pattern and the right ET value. The wrong rim on a heavy campervan affects safety directly, and that is not something to gamble with far from the nearest workshop.

What should you consider when choosing rims for a campervan?
The most important thing to check is the load capacity. A campervan is often considerably heavier than the same base vehicle in its original van form. Packed full with a tent, water, food and equipment, the gross weight can be considerably higher than on a normally loaded vehicle. Always choose rims with enough load capacity for your campervan's gross weight fully loaded. Beyond load capacity, the bolt pattern, hub diameter and ET value all have to match for the rim to fit and work safely.

Steel wheels for a campervan
Steel wheels are the obvious choice for many campervan owners: they are rugged, good value and easy to replace if something happens far from home. They take cold, salt and tough road conditions without a second thought and are perfect as winter wheels. On a campervan used seasonally, steel wheels are a smart choice for winter storage – easy to swap and easy to store. At Statusfälgar we offer steel wheels for the most common campervan base vehicles in the most common dimensions. Read more about steel wheels →
Alloy wheels for a campervan
Alloy wheels are a popular choice for campervan owners who want to combine function with appearance. The lighter construction reduces unsprung weight and improves fuel economy, which is all the more noticeable on a heavy vehicle covering long distances. Many choose alloy wheels for their campervan for a better appearance without compromising on load capacity. Always check that the rim's load capacity matches your campervan's gross weight fully loaded. Read more about alloy wheels →

Rims for a campervan used seasonally
A campervan parked for long periods subjects its rims to strains many people do not think about. Rims loaded at the same point for a long time can cause uneven wear and, at worst, deformation. Always check the condition of the rims and the tyre pressures before the season's first trip. Many choose to keep a dedicated set of winter wheels on steel rims and a set of summer wheels on alloy rims: it saves time at the seasonal change and extends the life of the tyres.
