New wheel and tire set up

[BC Moto]

Did you mount the tires on the beadlocks? They look awesome. Can't wait to see them on your Jeep.

Yes I mounted them to the beadlocks and it wasnt too bad, just alot of bolts to tighten.

Watch those bolts for a few weeks. I used blue loctite since it also serves the purpose of protecting against corrosion.

Yeah, it is a lot of bolts. I think I did mine twice. Goes pretty fast using Blaine's method and using the impact to get the ring seated against the wheel and only then going around and tightening them to 200in-lb

Mine did not have to be tightened that much I believe raceline has a different torque number. I did don't slow to get it right and when I finally g$et them on I will check it more often especially before a trail run.

Step 9 says to tighten to 192-216 in-lbs.

Are you running an wheel adapter on these? I didn't think they sold those in a 5x4.5. What backspacing are they?

No not you, the Raceline beadlocks.

My Raceline Beadlocks Monster 232 came in 5x4.5 with 3.75" BS. They are the same design, but have some black accents. Otherwise they look the same.

They do look similar, but not the same, even after the accents.

This is what I got and not in 5X4.5 in anticipation of newer axles in my future

 

[Hackyman]

Planning to swap to JK axles?

 

[BC Moto]

Yeah we will see what I find, hope to fine empty housing so I can start fresh. Chromo axles, lockers and truss and things like that
