ihad a set of those on the wreck I got the original turbo engine out of ,but the 16 inch wheels did not fit

Grab the calipers if you can, you might change your mind later on.

Is there any reason why you won't go to even a 17" rim?

He has said it about a million times... Has to run a load rated light truck tyre

16inch wheel only

That's the part that I don't get - there are tyres larger than 16" diameter that have high load ratings.

On Falcon sedans, the required minimum load rating is 93. For wagons and utes the minimum is 95. That's why I need to make sure that tyres that go on my taxi (BFIII wagon) have a load rating of at least 95.

I don't know if this ute requires a higher load rating than 95, but there are plenty of 17" and 18" tyres with load ratings of 97 and 98.

I found this thread: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2189827

Which mentions that One Tonnner utes must have a wheel load rating of 1,000kg and a tyre load rating of 99.

Tyres are easy enough to get - I've seen plenty before with a 99 or 100 load rating.

Wheels with a 1,000kg load rating also exist.

I still don't get it... why stick to 16"?

Coz the factory tyre placard says he cant and qld transport are stubbon retards, end of story.

Their are plenty of load rated options above 16", the fg 1tonners can have 17's. Like a said, qld transport are difficult.

Its the size of the rim that cannot be changed phil, not an issue of wether larger load rated tyres are available. Its retarded coz karnts buy style sides, whack a tray on it and run whatever they want all the while overloaded. Yet if its registered as a 1 tonne and the po po see larger wheels they are all over it. Can thank wankers in "mini trucks" for that.

have had some set backs today ,the new engine stand is not long enough and made the engine tip over forward . luckily I noticed it before I let the engine crane of ,will have to get the legs extended out 250 mm to fix the problem . then I wanted to take the turbo of ,but the manifold bolts are a carnt to loosen with all the lock tight on them .3 hour later with the help from my new neighbour we finely got the manifold of . after that the turbo bolts were cross threaded from ford and one of the studs was stuffed and the manifold thread is also f*cked . so the bad luck just keeps following me lol. can someone tell me why this new engine was running that rich that the turbo is all black around the exhaust chamber ? have ordered all the parts of Jamie today ,but after working on the turbo today I would like to fit a high mount turbo to have better access to it .

getting back to the 16 inch wheels and tyres ,I have a load rating of 106 , not 99 . and there is no tyre any where that is rated that high . also a passenger tyre has to be 10 % more load rated than the light truck tyre to pass as it is not a 6 ply construction . but thanks for trying to help .

Black stuff in the turbo is normal....

Go buy a can of

"Wurth - Rost Off Ice"

Best stuff I have used on rusty or tight bolts, it won't help the bolts that broke already but at least if you spray all the others they will just come out a hell of a lot easier

Crc or WD40 are useless compared to the Wurth stuff

Just don't rush anything and you won't get to many problems

my new neighbour is a ex mechanic , and he said it was cross threaded .the actual nut is not straight on the stud .and the intake manifold bolts are lock tight in place ,they were so tight even all the way out we were struggling to get them to move .
