Guest Rota_Motor Guests Posted 11/04/05 09:45 AM Share Posted 11/04/05 09:45 AM XRPhantom: yes, I cannot put 18's on my car legally, because my tyre placard says rear tyres must be rated to a total of 1700kg, or 850kg each, and no tyres in 18" fitment are rated that high.so on any 'sports' suspensioned ute, 18"s are fine, but not on a ute with the one tonne rating.which brings me to Phantom T utes reply, upon clicking his clicky, I got taken to the Scorpion Zero ASIM fitment page. only 18"s they have are 285/30 which means I would need fairly wide rims... altho it does show they make 255/50 and 265/45 in 19" fitment pity they are probably very expensive, and I think I will go through more tyres on the back than the front.

Guest Phantom T Ute Guests Posted 11/04/05 10:39 AM Share Posted 11/04/05 10:39 AM Although not listed on the pirelli site, the tyres used on the Corsa Tonner were 235/55 and 255/50 18's. Now this maybe a typo, but if you ring Corsa they may be able to tell you where they got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rota_Motor Guests Posted 13/04/05 09:44 AM Share Posted 13/04/05 09:44 AM current tyres are 215/60R16C 103/101Tbrand is GoodYear Cargo G26I believe these are the standard tyres fitted to BA utes with the 1 tonne rating. which is why the issues come up with load ratings.

Dr Concrete Member 69 Member For: 19y 5m 17d Location: Adelaide Posted 04/10/05 07:50 AM Share Posted 04/10/05 07:50 AM Hey guys, does anyone know the the v8 brute utes use for their suspension on all four corners. I'm going to upgrade my T to full racing suspension, but I can't find anything setup for circuit racing or tarmac rally application. I think I might need to have a single leaf spring made to my own specs. Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
