44 TSLs on 8 inch beadlocks

[yourhero]

Is anybody running 44 TSLs on 8 inch beadlocks and do you have pros and cons about doing it?

We're running 44"rockers on h1s without any problems. I think they're 8 3/4. If any thing it'll suck the tire in making it narrower and taller.

I'm pretty sure a 8 inch wheel with a weld on bead lock is close to 9"

And a 44 rocker is a WIDE tire :****:

I've got brand new 44 TSLs and a choice of 15X 10" or 8" wide Allied Beadlocks

I agree with this as an 8" wheel will draw the sidewall in too much and can balloon out the tire and blow off the bead.

18.5" tire--- 8" wheel--- 5.25" hanging over each side of the bead inside and outside= too much sidewall flex IMO

44 rocker @ trail pressure 6lb under a 6250lb rig measured 16.5"ish.

when I first got 44s I had a 10 inch wheel and even with five and six pounds of pressure most of the weight was on the center two ribs of the tire. I went with a 12 inch wide wheel and now the tiresit more even and flat so you have more surface area of the tire on the ground to make more contact
