Created a double beadlock on a 16.5x 10 wheel. Got inside and outside DIY beadloccks . These are not the ugly hummer wheels like most people use. Every where I read even pirate they said that this couldn't be done. They said just go buy a set of hummer wheels.The insides are not the round steel rod that you weld to the rim either.Who ever imagined that you would ever be able to run 5psi on a 16.5 wheel without loosing the bead. Life is great.
 
NO **** I thought ALL 16.5 wheels were GARBAGE :****:

Thread is WORTHLESS without the pics of how you did it though :gtfo:
 
He got away with it on the rockwells due to no brake stuff to worry about he also ran the two rear wheels on backwards to narrow it up a bit count tell because they were the same deadlocks on both sides only drawbacks were they were damn heavy. He sold the wheel and tire setup and went back to 44no tale on regular 15" deadlocks after that mostly because of weight and he made the thing set lower.
 
i have 16.5 double bead locks on my rig there internal locks will get abetter pic later

will get some pics up this weekend. everybody just keep in mind this will only work on 16.5 and bigger unless you one hell of a wheel spacer.
 
changed the back spacing on the wheels to 3 1/8 and added 2 in wheel spacers and bolted them up and was readey to go. just have to make sure and watch the inside diameter of the rings.

that would be a negative and no anti coning ring. just watch how tight you make the bolts.25 lbs tourqued.and hold like a charm.
