Holden Rodeo(new shape)

hi bryanw ive just fitted 265 x 70 x16 they fit in the wheel arches ok there is no catching on the guards etc the new spare the same size only just fits into the underbody area i dont know if 265 x 75 would fit . i think you should check before you purchase also my speedo is slower by about 6kms/hr also the odometer. good luck sshep

g'day bryanw,
the previous model rodeo for over ten years had a narrow track that caused tyre scrubbing in the rear unless you used an offset rim. the new rodeo doesnt have this problem. i run 31/ 10.5 r15 with no problems. on the standard lx steel rims i have fitted 275/75r16, which i use off road with a 35 mm crank in the front and 45 mm spring upgrade in the rear the only mod needed is to trim the rear of the front corner flare/mud flap. there is quite a difference in diameter between the 3 sizes discussed so be carefull of the speedo, rta and possible insurance implications of a change. the torsion bars are in the super strong class and i dont know of and replacements being available or necessary.

regards peter

Thanks for the info, know what I need to do now. Going to fit a set of 265/75R16 MTR's. If 275's work then 265/75R16 will be perfect!

Thanks again for the info!

This is a pic of what my rig looks like!! Not sure if there is a difference between the Aus and SA models.

Thanks
Bryan

mays well stick to da standard tyres cos the uni and cv bust easy on da RA's with tyres that grip hard. Iv seen it happen 2 three so far. the LT rodeo's were much better offroad vehicle.
