I've got 19" 50th anniversary turbo rims that I love so much that I've bought a second set. (matching trailer) However my issue has been load rated tyres. In the factory 245/35/19 I can only get a 93rating (650kg). Local Bob Jane guy said they upped the Aspect ratio and fitted 245/40/19, 98(750) to a GS ute a while ago and haven't had any clearance issues so far. Speedo is 3.8% off. Also thinking possibly 255/40/19, 100(800kg), 5% off. Specifications for the One Tonner say max rear axle load is 1700kg so if I got to 1600kg worth of tyre rating that's enough for me. I also what the bigger numbers so I can register my trailer with a higher Load capacity. So whos done this before and had experience? How does upsizing affect acceleration, drag times, launching, handeling, cruising revs etc? Considering the same brand/pattern tyres. Also how would I find out the weight rating of the rim itself? The local parts department potatoes aren't that helpful, they couldn't even find my wheels on their system & said they must be an aftermarket option. http://www.tyresizecalculator.com/tyre-wheel-calculators/tire-size-calculator-tire-dimensions http://www.bobjane.com.au/info/load-index-speed-symbol/

Hey all, Had a good read over this forum, found some very good info! Especially liked the 'Mods to Power Comparison' and 'Modding your FG XR6T' threads. But when it comes to fuel consumption/modification advice, I've read too many conflicting arguments on the web, so I've come here for your advise! Looking to purchase a FG 2010 XR6T, would love it to sit between 250-300rwkw, but I don't want to be paying through the nose for fuel! If anyone could comment on how each modification (from knowledge or experience) affects fuel consumption, that would be greatly appreciated, especially in concerns to the FG XR6T. Thanks in advance :-)
