The wheel is secured with a lock nut plus two other wheel nuts so is as safe as a normal alloy.
It looks a tad big but it's deceptive as the overall diameter is pretty much the same as a 19" hse with an MTR. only the width is 285.
If you want on fitted then maybe contact 10forcash and I'm sure he will oblige.
He didn't do mine as he's been a bit tied up so my friendly local independant helped me
you can purchase from the distributor ARB Tradimg.
Couple of minor issues when fitting cropped up.
1. The pcd of the wheel bolts was a few mm out so we had to grind one off and reweld. I don't think this is typical, seems mine was a special case lol.
2. It does interfere with the rear parking sensors. Going to have a fiddle and see which one needs blankimg off.
As I can park a car, it's not a big issue!!
When fitting, you have to cut and drill the rear steel bumper.
Paint this otherwise it will rust.
3. There are a couple off support brackets that fit underneath the tyre that give some additional support.
My tyre is slightly oversize so they don't fit so I'm looking at getting something bespoke knocked up.
Will have to compare it to Slimers Rasta version to see the differences, buts is considerably cheaper and does the job great.
Not to everyones taste I doubt but I like itWelcome "Lola"
