Beadlock Conversion

TOSTO RACING · 03-08-2018, 06:11 PM

On my last set from Larry Hodge we bead locked the front and knurled the rear so they won't go anywhere. I don't see any way the back can move on a single ,but I'm not running the horsepower to worry about it. Big hp guys probably need double's.

Good information. That will save a few bucks also.
Thanks

How much weight does a single beadlock add to the wheel?

I looked on the Champion site and I think it said 3 lbs.

Thanks Floyd, thought it was more but that seems like a decent trade off.

I was wrong. I looked again and they have 3 different weights.
4 lbs, 4.9 lbs and 5.4 lbs.
