    Perfect wheel set when next hitting the beach or mud

    These should be a pretty good replacement for the 18" wheels when I'm in the sand or mud next.

    Went to their website and they have a model perfect for the D4, might be a bit expensive though

    Does the spare fit in the normal spot?
    What pressure would you run them at?
    Are they better than the Wranglers?

    With terrain response, set to SAND, do you still need to turn DSC OFF ??

    I probably would. Would be worth checking the handling with it on or off.
    Wonder if I can get a set fitted before hitting the beach at Robe later this year, might keep the belly of the car off the sand.

    I wonder if they make a set with a suitable offset, width, diameter etc which would mee the requirements of the various legislation of all the different states, which also begs the question, how easy/time consuming, it would be to have a set on a trailer to change over when they might be needed

    Also seeing they have a max speed of 60Kph, would we need to run shortened rods with them for clearance....
