    18" Compomotive Wheels

    Compomotive wheels and Cooper STT tyres : ProSpeed

    Noticed Prospeed have started doing a wheel/tyre package, which includes 275 Cooper STTs, their own height rods, and most interestingly their own lock stops - obviously to combat rubbing with the larger 275s. Has anyone used such "lock stops" before, how much reduced maneuverability would they contribute, and how would you fit such a thing?

    Anyway, I though this was a very good looking truck to share, maybe not entirely legal here with that tyre size without an engineering certificate in some states. Still, a very nice rig....

    Apologies for hopefully brief hijack; what rack is that? It seems to fit very low and flush to the roof...

    Must admit, Looks darn good,

    Wouldn't buy Cooper tyres though...many reasons....

    With extended elevation via rods, there must be a complete re-alignment process needed to take into consideration LH camber and general drive chain alignment, a complete reset if perminant!

    I know that many vehicles with lift kits with IFS do suffer from excessive stress on Driveline CV joint/boot stresses. Why should a D4 lifted with 4WIFS be any different?

    I am about to take delivery of a set of Graham's 18" rims, and I am seriously debating in my head on tyre size, rubbing, Graham's rods permanently elevating the vehicle in versus to slightly lower tyre size 265/60.

    The trade of for 18 inch rims is 265/60 or 265/65, rubbing or not and added protection that comes with 65's. I am only looking at BFG KO2..

    At the end of the day, it appears the best option all round with no rubbing, no change to vehicle dynamics is a 60 profile.

    I met a Guy at Cameron Corner in July 2015 running BFG 265/65 KO's on Compomotive 18" rims, he was talking about resetting ride height on standards rods to stop rubbing as a perminant fix?

    Let's keep up the debate and pressure on BFG for some decent tyre like the KO2 and sizes available down under.

    Regards

    Gerald
