will the Mopar true bead-lock ring work with cooper stt pro? when tightened does the ring have to touch the rim?
There can be no gap between the wheel and the ring. The mopar beadlocks will not work with the STT Pro safely. The bead is too thick.

Thanks, if i used spacers like the picture above would they work then? or would that be unsafe?

You can use spacers but you will have to make them / have them made. MOPAR does not sell spacers for their beadlocks.

Just to add to my previous post...you are going down the same road I went down about 4 months ago. The MOPAR beadlocks look really good and I wanted to keep them but I quickly realized there were a lot better options out there.

Like? I don’t mind spending the money, but I need to love the wheel.

I have 35" Milestar Pat's and was unable to mount them on my Mopar rims with the bead look ring. I used everything I could to secure the tire when trying to get the inner tire lip to sit on the rim but it was too thick and I began destroying the rim. I ended up just mounting them at a shop and used the rock rings. I like the rims but was not happy about the tire not fitting in a bead lock position.

I started this thread and came to the conclusion of many others. I really liked the mopar wheels, but they weren’t going to fit my needs. Here is a pic of what I ended up with. KMC machete with Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

i just bought them in black, I'm so disappointed that the mopar wheels would work!! They weren't cheap as you know. Do you have any pictures from the back without your thumb in there so i could see the stance? (LOL) maybe some from the side as well. Thanks

I will try to get you one in the next couple days. They stick out more than I wanted, but not too bad. I almost ordered black, I think with the black fenders on mine I just wanted a little more contrast.

looks great! I love it, I almost went with the full polished, but with the painted fenders I needed more contrast. No bull! LOL. The exact opposite. Thanks for posting pictures. I wish I had bought the two door, but need the space. .
