nokiamutt Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Bought some beadlock rims a few weeks aggo and im wondering if anyone knows the specific torque setting for the bolts . They were made by straightforward supplies , and have 32 bolts per wheel if that helps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangemach5 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Bought some beadlock rims a few weeks aggo and im wondering if anyone knows the specific torque setting for the bolts .They were made by straightforward supplies , and have 32 bolts per wheel if that helps ? Found this in another topic on here ref fitting beadlock wheels with tyres!!! For the bolts get yourself an air powered ratchet and run it at low air. That should give you the 5-10 lb/ft you need. You also want a few longer bolts to squeeze the ring down a bit first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young bobtail Rhys Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 For the 32 bolts rings you will require 5ft lbs on each bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young bobtail Rhys Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Nope, but multiply that with 32 and you have 160ft lbs holding you tyre bead on the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean f Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Check to make sure they are round as well, quality was often a bit of an issue with some of the straight forward supplies stuff (he is no longer trading). Also before fitting the tyre if the wheels have never been used before check the welds for any signs of pin prick holes which will cause leaks, much easier to fix now than after the tyre is fitted. Other than that there is other threads on here about using sealant etc, may be worth a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
