DIY beadlocks.

Has anyone put beadlocks on factory 16” wheels? I have a guy in town selling some 16” beadlocks from ruff stuff. I was thinking about getting them and using them on the factory 16s and keeping the hubcaps on too? Pros cons? No clue what size tire I’m running or lift. Just goin with the flow.

16" tires are getting harder to find. If you are set on running hubcaps, make sure they will fit through the center of the ring.

I like hubcaps. Stock wheels are going to be narrow but with a beadlock might be ok.

I did on my K5 but that was over 8 years ago. Worked fine; leaked a little air over time. Mounting tires on beadlocks are a lot of work.



I'm pretty sure they were from Ruffstuff. I think I won them in a giveaway.

Yeah I see 17” tires on marketplace all day. 16s not often. But I bought a buncha parts from this guy and the beadlocks were the only thing I left behind. Pretty cool to see someone run stock hubcaps and beadlocks. I’ve seen members here put caps on H1 wheels and looked great. Just goin for a different look is all. I may get em and just try it. Lol. Keep the wheels white too. I probably wouldn’t go over 35s
