Beadlock ring to wheel gap

[Mr.Ratbastard]

I am putting my wheels together and the gap from the beadlocks ring to the wheel may be excessive, not sure. Method 105's with Nitto Ridge Grapplers. It looks like a 3/8" Gap without any bolts. Do I need spacers on the rings or continue on?

Bolts should tighten that up no problem. 25ft/lbs for 5/16” hardware.

 

[Mr.Ratbastard]

Thanks, should the ring end up flush with the wheel?

 

[Byro]

Yes. Also never-seize on the bolt threads, future you will thank you.

Sounds fine, use an impact driver to save your self some effort for the first 90%. Ill halfass crisscross keeping an eye on the gap you are talking about and make sure it stays consistent around the wheel so you know you arnt over tightening 1 side at a time.


Ill bet Byro ^^^ has mounted 100x more beadlocks wheels then anyone else here so just listen to him.

I have Methods and run Cooper STT Pro's and I had to use spacers between the wheels and rings. I got mine from Northridge 4x4.

Dude. So many wheels.

 

[Mr.Ratbastard]

They went together great. I set my 1/4 drive impact driver on a low setting and ran the bolts all in using a star pattern, the rings had about a 1/16" gap at just 10 ft lbs and fit flush when finished.
