You may be looking at ADR's correctly, but you have to use them in conjuction with any State Laws. If you check the link I attached it takes you straight to the N.S.W R.T.A website to their guidelines for wheels and tyres. This must be adhered to as well as the ADR's. It is the same as the...

Yeah mate, absolutley 100% sure, in N.S.W that is, you can only go 15mm larger in diameter than the largest fitted, in the case of D40 the 255/70/16 is 763mm dia, therefore we (in N.S.W) can only go 768mm which is 265/70/16 or 245/75/16. If you want to go larger it has to be engineered...

Thanks for that Todd262. I spoke with Ray, the owner seems like a nice bloke. There rims are a pretty good price too, I thought, $255 a rim down here.

Hey Guys I found a couple of pictures of the rims on a Nav, these are for sale on Ebay, but in WA, they look pretty good I reckon, these are obviously the correct rims a little different to what I tried, but I knew that.

Yeah I have had a look but the problem is getting them, I see Aussinav on the Fronteir forum has Procomp on his rig, I posted to find out where he got them, haven't heard back yet. From what I hve seen though the -12 offset sticks out a little far, not real sure though. I found some American...

G'day guys. I don't really need 8" wide as I'm only going 265/70/16, 75 series is too big in NSW (illegal) 70 series is as big as you can go. I only have the steelies hence why I'm after something a bit nicer and there's not much around for our trucks, I would probably go a set of factory...

G'day all, tell me what you think of these rims. They are Allied - Wasp 16" x 7". This is what they look like against the car. These ones aren't the correct ones for the car but they give an idea of the look. Will be fitted with 265/70/16 Yoky Geolander's probably. And then a lift in the...

Hey Boss, the steelies on my RX are 7".

Boss, I had a squeak too. I packed the rubber bumpers on each corner with a piece of cardboard to make sure that was the problem, it was. The fix I used, was to loosen the mounting bolts on the bonnet catch and move it down, to pull the bonnet down onto the rubber bumpers more firmly. No more...

Thanks Gus. I wont be going constant load when I do get around to suspension. I only asked about the ride as when I put Cooper ST's on my old 4runner I noticed the ride was a bit harsher I assume due to the construction. I'm tossing up between the Yoky Geolander A/T-S a couple of mates have...

Hey Boss, nice looking truck. I see you made a decision with tyres, good on ya. I'm still trying to decide. I havn't seen anyone with the 694's, I know Matt aleady asked you, but what do you think of them. How do they feel on the road being LT construction harsh or not, any good on wet road...

I've had my D40 6spd, 2.5 for just over a month. Getting 10.86l / 100kms around town, just did a run from far south coast N.S.W to Canberra, 548.8km return trip used 51.24litres which equates to 9.34l / 100kms I'm pretty happy with that. Standard rig with steel bar and canopy. Mick

Good on ya Matt, thanks very much for that. You did get a good amount of bang for your buck, so to speak.

G'day Mph70, your'e obviously happy with the km2's. I just read the 4wd Action muddies test and they came out on top. The new tread pattern certainly looks the goods. How do you find them on the road wet/dry and have you noticed any appreciable loss in power on takeoff, are you running an...

Thanks 08Kingcab, yeah I will definately need some before then. I was talking to a mate today who had BFG's on a Patrol and was pretty happy with them as well. It will be a toss up between the BFG's and the Yokies. I suppose I should go the BFG's (with the compressor deal as a sweetener)...
