18 Inch Ram Rebel Wheel Weight

[15DarkSide]

Can anyone out there for certain confirm the Rebel wheel weight?

In all my searching I have found approximate guesses and 1 guy claiming 26.7 pounds, which seems too light.

Hey all, as I was doing research for which tires to go with (as many are), I know unsprung weight calculations are important to some of you for gas mileage purposes. Rebel 18" Wheel Weight: 26.7lbs Falken Wildpeak A/T3WA 275/55/20 Weight: 45.3lbs Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/70/18 Weight: 61lbs...

The Peasant Edition TRX wheels are 30lbs, so 26.7lbs is very believable.

That’s the exact post I’m referring to. 26 pounds seems to be very light. And I’ve seen elsewhere of ppl estimating upper 30’s.

The Rebel wheels are 8" wide and the TRX wheels are 9", which would account for the 3.3lbs difference. The TRX beadlock wheels are ~40lbs. No way are the Rebel wheels almost as heavy as the beadlocks.

My tire and wheel assembly measured 80 pounds on a scale. According to custom offsets.com the dura-track weighs
56.94 pounds so that would leave a wheel weight of 23 pounds.
edit:
Amazon states 45 pounds, so 35 pounds for the wheel.
I might lean towards amazons weight.

Just went down a rabbit hole, almost did not make it out...
The stated tire weights on line are all over the place.

Can you put stock TRX wheels on Rebel with 33 tires on stock Rebel?

Rebel factory tires on TRX wheels

Awesome idea. So you get that wider offset of a TRX wheel but with a 33" tire and less headaches of trying to stuff it in than with the stock 35" tires. Looks good to boot!

Edit: Saw you are using spacers, were those still needed to clear the UCAs?

Personally, I think the TRX tires look like balloons on the Rebel, so the 33" factory tire has a decent fit and look.
