Setting up bead-lock wheels yourself.

[Unholy707]

I’m glad the 15s are a lot easier. I’m telling you with 100% certainty the 17s aren’t like that man. I’ve done mine myself twice

 

[Unholy707]

You have to stretch the tire like an entire 2-3” at the end on 17s. Don’t know if it’s a manufacturing issue or what

315/50r17 eat street Rs. Not hating on your video at all I can’t believe how easy they went on, make me want to switch to 15s

15’s are easy. The added sidewall they have over a 17 makes a huge difference. The radials are a lot heavier/stiffer than the bias ply slicks like the Hoosiers. They are really easy. I have double beadlocks, so I have to pull the inside bead over the rim on the inside as well. Double the work but still not a problem doing it by hand. No need to break the inside bead when removing with those.

 

[Unholy707]

Do the balancing beads really work that well?

 

[Unholy707]

Yeah, wish someone would buy my rear setup (17x10 f14 headlocks w 315s). They’re still brand new, and I have custom hub centric rings for the inside of them to take up the slack. 15s are the ticket, just need the rear brake conversion

 

[Unholy707]

They prevent the tire from coming off the bead as you stretch it and work you way around.

 

[Unholy707]

Jig saw, bench grinder and a drill. Easy. Made a little template out of cardboard and traced it on the aluminum

Once it’s on there all the way around it won’t come off. Remove tabs, screw ring on
