Northern Colorado Need Rims/Tires for emissions

[Broderick927]

I am looking for someone in Northern Colorado, Fort Collins/Loveland in particular that might have a set of 6 lug Chevy/Toyota rims with tires smaller than 34". I don't really want to buy them but I would be willing to rent/borrow/trade for a day or two of use to pass the emissions test.

I would buy a set but I am looking to upgrade my axles in the not too distant future, and my wife really doesn't want another set of rim/tires taking up space.

I know it is a long shot but let me know if anyone in the Norther Colorado Front Range has a set...let's make a deal.

Thank you,

I wish you mentionned this a week earlier. I just came back from my 3 trip to Loveland, I have a set of six lug 33" and I might still make a trip that way, but now chances are slim.
I have no problem lending them to you for a while, to get it smogged for a few $$ for my trouble.
If you don't find any by the time I make it that way I will get in touch with you.

I appreciate it. If you happen to be back in the area let me know. I have my feelers out via a couple other of resources. If I find some I will reply to this post. But if you happen to come this way in the next week or so let me know.

Pardon my stupidity. What does the tire size have to do with emissions?

 

[Broderick927]

First off I got me emissions test complete and all is good. Passed with flying colors.

WyomingK5....they test your vehicle on a set of rollers like a dyno. The way it is set up limits the size of tires they will allow. I convinced them to try and if it did not work I would drive away no harm no foul. They were very nice and made it work.

Just for anyone else in Colorado with a gas burning vehicle this is the way they will test your truck. I might have caught them on a good day or perhaps I just have a way with words. The rule is normally 34" or less on tire size. They can fit 35" tires but it took a large rubber mallet to get automatic wheel chocks to spread apart far enough. So don't expect them to test 35" tires unless you have a charming personality like me.

I had mine done in broomfield co. They just used a separate bay that was old school no rollers. Just call around and find one that will do it for you. Now we need to just meet up and go wheeling.

I am glad wyoming don't do the emmision thing. Yet!
