Can only find the smaller ones

Truck has a GVM of 13500kg

They only go up to 6000kg, my GVM is 13,500kg

I think you'll find that the rating of the tyres is PER TYRE.

Therefore, if you can find tyres rated for 6,000kg you should be fine....4 x 6,000 = 24,000kg. Your GVM is "only" 13,500kg so you're all good with 6,000kg rated tyres.

My Silverado has a GVM of 4490kg, but the tyres I use are "only" rated for 1,600kg (each).

Scroll down and have a look at the tyre specs.... 5,600kg front and 10,600kg rear.

So your minimum tyre rating needs to be 5,300kg to cover the 10,600kg rating of the rear AXLE.

Dave - A third of the way down the following ATW page link, under "ATW 4x4 Truck Accessories", you will find - "Single Wheel Conversions for MAN, Isuzu FTS, and others."

There's also pics of an 8 tonne Hino 4WD bus conversion (same size as the FTS800) from ATW - so I think they can handle your request - unless they have downsized seriously in recent times.

Cheers, Ron.

Thanks guys, I called ATW and they said the rims (not the tyres) need to be over 6000kg for the FTS and they don't do them.

I 'm not too worried about a GVM reduction as the rego for a motorhome in QLD as it's classed as a specific use vehicle is $550 pa, cheaper than the wifes mazda 6

but it would get you into a more common and possibly cheaper tyre.

Thanks, it's not the tyres I'm worried about I can get them anywhere, it's getting the rims that's problematic.

Dave, try giving Rimtec a call (07) 4842 5304, they maybe able to find a source.

Thanks, no good there. The canter and NPS rims are 16" I need around 22.5.

Dave, try Carroll Tyres in Rocklea or Yatala. I still think Mullins Wheels will be worth a try as well.

Are your FTS800 rims, 8 stud? If so, there's 2 rims for sale on Gumtree - but they are in Geraldton, W.A.!

I also notice that the Gumtree seller is talking about different rim offset between front and rear rims - so it would pay to check the stamped information on your rims to see if that is the case. If it is, you would need 2 spare rims.

It's not unusual for some of the 4WD trucks to have different rim offset between front and rear, as there is often a track width variation between F&R when a driven front axle is fitted, when the factory 4WD installation is carried out.

The different offset is needed to ensure the tyres end up with the same track F&R.

Cheers, Ron.

Not sure of the GVM of this, but it would be well up there.

I had wheels made for the OKA by Mullins before they were generally available. If the rims are available, they will fit whatever centres are required and certify them - for a price.....

Thanks Peter,

Most of the large trucks run american pattern 8 or 10 stud, the jap ones are harder to source (ADR compliant anyway)

The most popular sizes for big 4WDs in Europe (MANs, Unimogs and the like) are 20".
