hey all, was wondering if anyone had a copy of the tyre placard for an 89 2+2 N/A. just finishing off my compliance and need to stick one of these badboys in. any help would be much appreciated, cheers
I know I've seen them on standard 7½" rims I think they might have been on Mathius' car - and I think he now lives up with the banana benders. At one stage I was looking at buying a pair of rear TT rims from the USA until I worked out the costs :wacko: then I would definitely be running the 245-45's.
Tyre placard Can you use this? Maybe you can save it and print on adhesive label stock. You'll need to adjust the size down by 50% or so, but it will give you reasonable definition. [/IMG] Cheers.......
Your the man I wanna see Where'd you get them Cliff & what price? I'm just looking at options and MadMike suggested 245/45's. Cya next weekend on the Purling Brook Falls cruiZe ... your backyard.
tyre placard comes out for 16" stockies 225/5016 load rating no less than 87. with a speed category no less than V stupid thing, i couldn't find a tyre if i tried with a LOWER rating in either specs if i tried. i scoff at people with retreads (speed rated to 110km/h. as opposed to V speed rating to 240km/h. Now, who has a 300km dash? get Y rated tyres. mmmm up to 300km/h tyres. Legally in vic, you can't put more than a 50mm plus fitment in wheels (so no, 18" are actually illegal) but it's a descepancy of 2mm. but some cops are bastards. unless you get an engineers cert. ps, buy my zed
Action Tyre & More in Southport 12 Price Street 5532 4599 talk to Don Kingsley (owner) I paid $165 each and $120 for the 225/50/16 fronts
Vicroads rules on wheels ... Just wondering where this information has come from, cos its not mentioned on the Vicroads website. Following are their rules on wheels - note that fitting of larger diameter wheels would be covered by the reference to the section I've highlighted in red. If you use 235-40×18 or 265-35×18 you will be legal in terms of overall diameter. 8. WHEELS AND TYRES Replacement wheels and tyres may be fitted provided that they comply with the following requirements: The width of any replacement rim must not be: more than 25mm greater than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series; or less than the width of the narrowest rim specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series. Rims, which have been widened, must have no more than one peripheral weld. All welding must be carried out in accordance with recognised engineering standards, and the rims must comply in all respects with specifications contained in the Tyre and Rim Standards Manual published by the Tyre and Rim Association of Australia. The overall diameter of any replacement rim and tyre must not be: more than 15mm greater than largest diameter tyre specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series; or more than 15mm less than the smallest diameter tyre specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series.[/COLOR=red] Rim and tyre combinations must be in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Tyre and Rim Standards Manual published by the Tyre and Rim Association of Australia and have a load and speed rating equal to or better than that required by the standards for registration. The wheels and tyres must not foul any part of the body, suspension, steering or brake components at any position of the suspension travel or steering movement and, when in the straight ahead position, the guard or bodywork of the vehicle must cover the section width of the tyre. Note: The section width of a tyre is the distance between the outsides of the sidewalls of an inflated tyre excluding any markings, bands or ribs. The maximum allowable track increase is: in the case of a front axle-25 mm; in the case of a rear axle with independent suspension-25 mm; in the case of other rear axles-50 mm; and in the case of a motor vehicle manufactured with a combination of front wheel drive, McPherson strut front suspension and negative scrub radius steering geometry, no increase in wheel track is permitted unless specified by the vehicle manufacturer. in the case of a motor vehicle fitted with a diagonally split braking system (i.e. one front wheel and opposite rear wheel on same hydraulic circuit), no change in the wheel track dimension is permitted. Spacers between the wheel and hub are not permitted unless provided by the vehicle manufacturer as original equipment. Wheel nuts must engage the thread of the wheel stud for at least the same length as the original wheel nut and have the same taper as the mating wheel stud hole. The stud pattern of the replacement wheel must be the same as the original. Re-drilling wheels, hubs, drums, discs or axle flanges is not permitted. Wheels with slotted stud holes are not permitted. Aluminium alloy wheels (mags) are acceptable provided they meet the above requirements and are legibly and durably marked to show compliance with one of the following standards: AS 1638 Australian Standard DOT Department of Transport USA JWLT Japanese Light Alloy Wheel Truck and Bus JWLT Japanese Light Alloy Wheel JIS Japanese Industry Standard KBA German TUV Certification VIA Vehicle Inspection Association Japan Repaired or damaged alloy wheels are not acceptable.
