BEADLOCK MAINTENANCE AND USAGE??

[Joaquim]

I currently have method racing (MR305 model I think) wheels with 35 Inch tires mounted - how often should I be tightening these beadlock bolts? What torq specs should I tighten them too? Is there anything else I should be aware of? I also know they are technically not street legal because they have beadlocks - but I’ve never heard of that being enforced??

I also have Method beadlocks, I just checked the torque on my the other day after 1000 miles and only a handful needed to be adjusted. The wheels come with a sticker that says check every 300 miles.

What specs do you torque them to? I don't have an impact or anything just a hand ratchet.

Mine state 18 to 22 pounds. I torque them to 22 pounds and everything is good.

Inch pounds or foot pounds?

If you look hard enough, it is on their website.

.I go over them after the first 100 miles. Then again after another 100. I did not get any loose bolts on the second time around. IF I did I would keep checking them at a hundred until they stopped loosening. I will now check them at every oil change (3000 or so). I torque them to 20 ftlb. This is my third set of method beadlocks. After initial set in they have not really loosened up on me. I use anti seize when installing them. If you really beat on them I would stick to their recommended 300 mile check.
