Just to add my little bit, I performed this today I would say it's a two man job from the start as the floor is really quite heavy and you need someone to hold it up when you are bolting the hinges back in.
Secondly although it's been said before earlier on you can use one of the inner roof piston ...

Thanks i was kinda hoping people would post as there is a lot of different opinions out there.

Can anyone recommend me a tyre with the correct load rating?

Thanks

I've spent ages going through old threads and can find nothing but conflicting info.

These are some sizes people are running

205/55
225/55
235/45
235/50

After a load of research on Diff winding I managed to snag myself a set of RX8 alloys at a bargain £140.

So which tyre size do you run, I ...

Converting from:

195/70/15 front
215/65/15 rear

Interesting, so you would need to use the tyre sizes I put above to keep the same rolling radius as the standard tyre...

Or put your diff at risk

This was my thinking especially if I keep the same rolling radius as standard.

I'm not sure this is possible though with 18"s

Apparently to keep the same rolling radius as standard you would need

225/45/18 rear
205/55/18 front

Hi I've been warned that fitting 18" RX alloys to my 96 4x4 can cause the diffs to wind up so I have a few questions.

To the best of my knowledge RX wheels are the same all the way round correct?

If I fitted these and kept the same rolling radius as the standard 15" wheels would I be right in ...
