Inner bead stiffener

pplblazerdude · Nov 20, 2016

I have bent two inner beads on my last two wheeling trips. I am running 40 treps and tmi beadlocks. Who makes a inner rim stiffer for 17s? Also does anyone make a thicker wheel?

Thanks

Get some 1/2" round bar and roll it into a circle and weld it around the inner lip.

I had a set of steel wheels one time and clyde at spyder offroad made them. It was 4 pieces of flat plate and when you laid them on the inner bead they made a complete circle. Just weld them in

Just find you a tree close to the right diameter and wrap that **** around the tree. Or I can come over and roll it by hand for you. Lol

How much you squeeze on the Hardline rated and approved bathroom scale?

Just call a construction supply place and ask for 18" round rebar stirrups...#3 bar is 3/8" dia and #4 is 1/2". Should cost you $4 - $5 each. Their used in light pole bases.
