Will weld on beadlocks on my 15x10's be way too wide for a 35 12.50?

If so, then i have some 8 lug 15x10 steelies for sale. :whistle:
And then i'll be buying 15x7's
 
yep that 15x10 is gonna turn into a 15x11 with the weld on beadlock.

Higher chance of popping the inner bead and may be a little too much stretch to look good.
 
yea i figured it would look like those little lowrider tires only 35 inches tall, lol. Im sure someone on here has done it.

And i might have these sold next week so i'll have an extra 80 to pay for new wheels.

But if not then it would be nice to know if these will work.
 
I have the same wheels but am running 38's.I don't think that wide a wheel will work very good with a 12.50 tire.
 
i am running 35 12.50's with 15x10 wheels no beedlocks and i wish i had 15x8's just too wide for the tires i lost a tire friday night in the mud running 30 psi

Yup. Whole reason I bought beadlocks. I lose a tire at least once everytime I go out. I tried running up to 20 psi but no dice. On my old 15x8s I ran 10psi no problems.

Yep, the narrower rim will hold a bead better. 15x10's are already too wide for that size tire for off-road use. While beadlocks will solve losing the outer bead, the additional width of the weld-ons will cause other issues. First of all you will beat up the rim lip pretty bad, possibly have more issues losing the inner bead, and the sidewall of the tire is not as well protected.

My previous setup was 38x13-16 TSL's on 16x10 rims (same rim profile as 15's) and I would consistently lose beads at anything lower than 20 psi in the front and 15 psi in the rear. My current 15x8 reverse BS and 39.5x15.5 TSL's have never lost a bead at single digit pressures. Part of this is due to the reverse BS as it makes it harder to lose the outer bead. 78Buford runs the same size rims with 42's and has never lost a bead either running low single digit pressures.

What is reverse BS??
 
If I welded a rod on the inside like you would on a 16.5 would these work? Or is it just not worth it?
