Sparky Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hey guys need a few things for a uni assignment.Need to know the gross weight of the vehicle (860kg right?) For my quad GTWeight distribution- front and rear.Wheelbase in mm.And finally the rolling radius of a 15" with 195/50 tyre (forgot to measure at the weekend ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meston Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 15 inches plus 3.93700788 inches for the tyre would be the rolling road radius would it not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 I cant remember what 50 profile is? Is it 50% of the width or something?And no its not the circumference of a circle. Like the above equation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meston Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Post edited and the wheel base is 2,300 mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For my quad GTWeight distribution- front and rear.Wheelbase in mm.And finally the rolling radius of a 15" with 195/50 tyre (forgot to measure at the weekend )Don't know exact figure for weight distribution, I believe it was around 65/35 % front to rear, Quad GT was 860kg I think, wheelbase as Meston saidRolling radius surely will be Pi x D (15" + 195mm) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
