That Carrier is awesome although I am somewhat surprised it doesn't have a heavier ply tire on the rear axles. A D5 in this would be sweet.
Ply you mean load rating?
1680 load allowed, 2460 axle load allowed maxes 1230 per axle. Load rating of the rear tires is 94 = 670 makes 1340. I think this works. The SDM's weight is near 1300 with a full tank of gasoline.

Got to put some pegs on there. matter a fact I would match paint it also to match the car that's on it and then put pegs on it.
I know I know...
The options are plenty. Paint it 214 with pegs is one of them. 18" in the front and 17" in the rear. A 17 x 8 ET46 Peg needs a spacer to fit and I don't like spacers on a load axle. Added to that the car is stupidly wide in the rear, 2.47 mtr on the fenders, and with a wider track it will become even more challenging. Then there's also roll resistance with the NA engine and consumption. In the end it is basically a truck. At the moment there's winter tires 225/50-16 in the front and 205/55-16 in the rear on Persus 16 x 6.5 ET43 rims. The rear axles use stock 850 calipers, rotors, handbrakes and hubs. With the air suspension setup there isn't much room behind the wheel. I've decided to go hunt for 2 Comet and 4 Meteor wheels. Put 215/45-17 in the front and 205/55016 in the rear maintaining the stock rear axle setup. My own idea is a V70XC front conversion at some point and I'm still a big fan of white.
Drove back from Sweden with a speed of 75MPH, ~81MPH the highest. This was with the lift axle raised. Car did well. With the load on it I only drove around town yesterday and the highest speed reached was 56MPH at which it ran very nice but driving winter tires at 86 degree ambient doesn't work well between the ears.
First the small things. Repair the load bay of the ramp plates. Already fixed/replaced the license plate lights and moved them out to fit a wider Euro plate between them. Winch didn't work yesterday but needs to be moved to fit the SDM's front spoiler anyway. AC is dead. Wipers stop in the middle of the windscreen. Replaced one brake caliper but the others need attention also.

It's the dual mass version pressure plate,
The single mass flywheel is made to dual mass spec so it is higher compared to an 850 style single mass.
