Thread: Tuffant 18" Steel Wheels

I've got some new monsta muds on my tuffants. Got them fitted and balanced.
Gets an annoying wobble noise past 80klm

Enhanced software.... I have it on my 2011

Get the balance checked again.

A good tyre shop will also spin the wheel up on its own first..

Hi folks,
Had the new 18” TuffAnt rims installed on my 2014 D4 yesterday. So far I’m impressed. They fitted without problem and needed very little balance weight.

I’m running Cooper ST Maxx in a 265/65/18. The Tuffants weighed in at close to 19kg so with the Coopers the wild wheel weighed in at close to 44kg - that’s about 10-12kg heavier than OEM 19” with stock GY wrangler in the 255/55/19.

The extra weight is noticeable when you accelerate as the car is working harder to spook up 40kg of extra rotating mass across all 4 wheels. While underway however the weight is not noticeable and impact on braking seems negligible.

I’m doing a long country run this weekend so will report back on fuel economy impact in due course.

Attached photos of the new rig

Yes. You’ll notice it in daily fuel consumption if left on.

You’ll also likely note a small decrease in Terrain Response performance - it will be working harder to control the wheel/tyre mass.

How do I upload photos from my iPhone to this thread ? Have read a few (conflicting) older threads and see no icon for “manage attachments” or “upload images”.

Guidance appreciated.

Easiest way is to use the AULRO app. Photo attachment is then very simple.
