Hi all New Isuzu NPS owners - you lucky dogs!!!
Looking to buy 17.5 x 6 standard wheels and tyres for my old 16 x 6 clad
NPS300 6 stud model. Well anyway that's what I think I can fit to it anyway.
Any advise would be much appreciated by anyone in the know.
Also any advise for speedo and rego. from the experts

Able, while I haven't actually done it , I'm 99% sure that there would be no hassle at all. Technically your true speed cannot be higher than what is indicated on the speedo. If it is and you were worried about it , there are ratio correction boxes available. No problem. The 17.5" wheels are fitted to the new NPS but as the braking system is still virtually the same specifications on both trucks, your old model will be just as sound with the 17'5" on. They're a much , much better setup[ than the old BTW. Tubeless for a start and fantastic M+S Michelin tyres.

No problem. just slip into your local dealer and ask them if you can borrow a spare from a new NPS in the yard. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. As I said I'm all but certain you'd be fine. Let us know how you get on.
