2.4 Wheels and Tires
2.4.1 Wheel Clearance
The distance from the tire to the mudguard or
wheel arch must be sufficient, even if snow or
anti-skid chains are fitted and the suspension is
fully compressed allowing for axle twist as well.
Please consult the Vehicle Converter Advisory
Service [email protected] for clearance
requirements and data.
NOTE: Make sure that only approved wheels
and /or permissible tire sizes are fitted
For standard wheelhouse dimensions.
Refer to: 5.1 Body (page 175).
(Integral Bodies and Conversions)
2.4.2 Tire Manufacturers
Replacement tires should be of the same make,
size, tread pattern and load rating as the Original
Equipment Manufacturer. Under these conditions
the original tire label should be satisfactory,
however if the specified tires and/or inflation
pressures are changed then a new label should
be affixed over the original label.
2.4.3 Spare wheel
When converting or relocating the spare wheel,
access must be ensured.
2.4.4 Painting Road Wheels
CAUTION: Do not paint wheel clamp
surfaces in contact with other
wheels, brake drum or disc, hub and
holes, or surfaces under wheel nuts.
Any further treatment in these areas
may affect the wheel clamp
performance and the vehicle safety.
•Mask the wheel when changing the color or
repairing paint.
