beadlocks

[PITBULL]

a friend has got some 10j rims and wants to fit double beadlocks to the rims but keep the width.i have heard that they add approx 1.5" to the rim so is it possible to cut 1.5" off the rim then fit the beadlock or do they have to weld on to the lip

[roybatty666]

seems a lot of effort if they are plain steelies.

People want to move up from 8 to 10" (fnarr) so maybe post up bout a swap for someones 8"?

[PITBULL]

but the prob with that is he wants double beadlocks so would make it approx 11" wide with the wrong offset ??

[roybatty666]

find a set of 7"?

Not sure if that would give you a decent offset though?

Do they have to be bang on 10", what tyres is he running?

Double external beadlocks? will the inside ring clear the brake caliper?

Rims too wide? fit fatter tyres!

[PITBULL]

didnt think of that running boggers 37/13

I've made my own double internal beadlock wheels 10 inch split rims with poly prop center ring after stauns kept going down with with mud and stuff getting inbetween the rim and tyre and having to replace 3 due to wear only been in 2 years 400mile not used on road

have had no problems since even after slindon round 8
