Mine turned up yesterday and get dropped off at the tyre fitter today, what can I say these guys are professional in sending the rims out to you and follow up your purchase and so easy to deal with, looking forward to fitting them with the tyres...
I ordered my tyres through Tyresales online too, sick of the tyreshops telling me what tyre I need to fit and steeering me away from what I wanted because they need to get rid of their stock. i fell for that with a tyreshop once and was supposed to get a good set of A/T's fotr my Hilux and got Hankook tyres instead, they were better than the big horns but not what i wanted.

Finally got them fitted with KL61's and they really look a mean wheel/tyre, gotta wait for my blue slip on Tuesday (failed interstate rego due to a damaged tread tyre)
the wheels come with caps and lugnuts, I bought the tyres from tyresales.com.au and can't fault their service at all.
Now to get it on the road and do a little trail work too.

Did you have to do much in the way of mods to the wheel arch etc to prevent rubbing with this size tyre?Quote:

Speedo is now spot on according to my Hema GPS
had Bob Jane in Adelaide attempt to fit tuffant 18s to my D4 today. rang me and said they wont fit, rubbing on brake calipers. i didn't have time to go back and see if they were talking close or actually rubbing so ended up picking car up with no new rims/tyres fitted.
edit - just talked with Bob Janes and they absolutely confirm the rims are rubbing and they wont/cant fit them. i'm confused ??????
Hi Jack, Should be no issue on that car. Could be one of 2 issues we have seen thus far.Quote:

2. The tyre fitter didn't release the handbrake on the car and was put of by how close the wheel was (also had this in one case)
Have sent you a message from TuffAnt so we can get it sorted for you :)
cheers

You’ll find on tight tolerance wheels if the Muppet at the shop tries to put it on “not square” they often hit the calliper.Quote:

Just wondering if anyone here in Melbourne has a set of these on their car yet(?). I'm wanting to check them out on person, and also maybe seeing about a trial fit maybe.
I quite like them,, but I do love my 20" rims, but would like to see what they look like up close and personable. [wink11]
Also, just wondering, as we'll be doing more touring than the "rougher" stuff, how the larger walled tyres on these rims will handle the almost 3 tonne of van as in handling, or feel whilst driving on the road. Its been a while since I've had the larger tyre's, and I've only towed this van on the 20", which give a very positive feel on the road, something I like.
