This is no good. I put my original standard steels back on over winter, but all these lovely photos are too much. The Wolfs will simply have to come out of hibernation shortly.

If I replace my Boosts with Wolf style steels on my Puma do I need to do anything else? The studs are fine aren't they? I assume I'll need steel wheel nuts too? Thanks

Bolt straight on. Just need steel nuts not the alloy type

I can highly recommend the closed end wheel nuts from Wrington Engineering:  Click image to enlarge Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

Yeah they look great, their website is bookmarked. Where did you get your wolf wheels from LRA?

They are Terrafirma ones and came from Frogs Island 4x4 via their eBay outlet. I had them powder coated anthracite. Darren

Are Frogs Island still going? I never seem to be able to find them despite their name coming up on here quite often

I think they're in the middle of moving premises, although I've no idea what the current situation may have done to those plans. Darren

Has anybody used Transglobal shipping on eBay? Seems a decent price for Terrafirma steels right here...

I've certainly used them for other things without issue. Darren

These are 6.5" width right?
I see a few people have fitted a 265 tyre... Is anybody running 285's on them? I currently have 285's on my Mach 5's which are 7" - wondering whether I could fit these tyres on Wolfies > 110 XS Double Cab |

So far as I'm aware the widest tyre you should run on a Wolf rim is 255, so 265 is pushing it. 285 is therefore way too wide! James
