real bead lock rims 8"

[wildtexasranger]

Ill be riding in alot of gumo clay down here in East Texas does any one know of a comp. that has real bead lock rims for a max2.I'd hate to loose a tire back in the woods that I ride in.

I believe a company called Douglas and also ITP make true beadlock wheels, but Im not 100% certain if they make them in the 5 by 4.5" bolt pattern. I know that they are pretty pricey, but it would be a great idea to run them, especially if you're running super low PSI. Good luck with the search.

If you are up for making your own (I applaud you for your patience if you are), here is a great article on beadlocks. This article mounts a DIY kit from Rockstomper on a full sized wheel but towards the end are some dimensions that can be used to calculate the correct dimensions for our wheels.

There was one atv with a 5 lug bolt pattern, the lt500 quadzilla by suzuki. I have a hub out in the shop, im gonna see what the bolt pattern is.

I measured the hub and it looks like its a no-go. It appears to be a 5-5" pattern. When I get my hustler I will take a rim off and see how close it is.

I can say almost 100% certain, that the Hustler, along with just about every AATV such as Max, Attex, Argo, and just about every other machine out there on 5 lug rims uses a 5x4.5" bolt pattern. I dont think too many 4 wheelers share that bolt pattern unfortunately, which makes it difficult for us to get aftermarket rims.

The only atv made with a 5 lug bolt pattern is the quadzilla. I am not sure hwo to measure a 5 lug pattern.

I think that single beadlock are not all that great. You should try to find some double beadlocks. I had single bead locks on my mud truck and lost a inside bead.Now I have double beadlocks on it and its imposable to lose a bead now.

Definitely! On a 4x4 truck or Jeep, the inside bead is a lot less likely to break but that also aren't sliding the tires sideways every turn like a skid/differential steer.

So you are saying go with double beadlocks?

where can I get some????????????

That would be sweet if I could get my hands on a set(6) of double bead locks rims,thats what I was looking for.I just have not found them yet. I might have to start making them, then start selling stuff for 6x6s roll cages, bumpers ,winch plates,brush gaurds and racks.The stuff that I'm building for my max2
Do you think it would sale?Who needs something like that?Ill take any help you guys or gals can give me,or orders (LOL) Thanks
