New Wheels and Tires for the GV

[Phantomzook]

[quote="christover1"]Previous owner of my Vit had 16's fitted.
Unsure if they would fit a GV or not.
Think they were Kings 16 x 7 -12 or -13]

I still have these. They have 245x75 Maxxis BIG HORNS.
I'm in Bundoora Ne Melbourne if you want to try them on.
I also have a naked single rim you can borrow to try at your leisure

All is okay, picked up 4 rims from the wreckers this morning.
Just got to save a few more pennies for the rubber now or more to the
point sweat talk the misses into letting me spend some more money...

Look forward to wheeling with you again.
Should be good.

All right tires are now fitted. Ended up getting a set of Kumho MT KL71 in 225/75/R16
The federals were no where to be found in Australia (well Victoria at least) and there was no ETA when I would see them if I ordered them.
So the tire shop offered me a set these.

They rub on full lock and I imagine they will rub and bump on articulation as well but only a trip out will work that out.

It now feels like I am stepping up into a 4WD now and not some little sports car...

I recommend you find somewhere near your house you can flex it up so you can fix it before taking them on a trip.
You could damage the tires or the body more that you would like on somehing that could have been easily fixed with a hammer beforehand!

I just took it to the local BMX track. It is only at the very very extremes that the rear tyres rub.
And the fronts have plenty of room assuming I am not at full lock.
Hammers and me don't mix very well, I have a tendency to over do things.

For now I'll leave things as they are, i'll just drive slowly and be aware of it.
I don't think I'll find too many bmx tracks out in the bush.

As for the actual tyres though they hook in rather well, there was a very muddy ditch that I just had to try...
