So I have some fairly large offset beadlocks. This means they stick out further than other wheels. I bought them for some obvious advantages like protecting my manual hubs, protecting my valve stems from rocks, widening my track to allow better stability with my lift, and offering greater steering before contacting my frame.
Here is something I didn't know but did learn. With the wider offset on my raceline beadlocks, the gap between the inside of the beadlock threads and the rim spokes is about 1". This doesn't seem like much, but when you have a broken beadlock bolt, it makes a big difference. It used to take a bunch of time to easy out any broken ring bolts. But with these wheels, you just put a drillbit in to your drill and push the bit against the broken off bolt. It spins the bolt right through the face and out the back. literally 10 seconds per bolt! Plus no damage to any threads so the new bolt just threads right in.
Super cool!
