Default AUII ute brakes + wheels

was the AUII ute released at the same time as the sedans? ie Apr 2000...

did it get the same brake upgrade as the sedans?

did it get 16" rims also like the sedans or did it keep 15"s
what is the size/load rating of AUII 1 tonne rims/tyres?

is it possible to fit 15" steel rims onto the AUII brakes?

thats all the questions for now

AU2 ute got the same brakes as the sedans. My AU2 ute came out with 15" rims. Yes you can fit 15" steel rims onto AU2 brakes.

Do you have an AU2 ute? If so, if the brakes are huge, then the answer to your first and second question is yes.

The utes scored 16s with the larger brakes (15's won't fit).

One tonner tyres are load rated at 105, IIRC.
