Suggestions on Beadlocks / wheels?

I haven’t flexed it on anything yet but it will be damn close to be honest.

Thanks...looks solid & agreessive at 4-5" outside fenders, but looks like it will hit fender lip when tucking. I've been reading that -38 offset is harder on ball joints with greater scrub radius...Did the wide stance affect steering? How do you like them? Did you look at 4.75" backspacing kmc xd228's? Thanks again

I like them a lot. The 228s are nice too but I didn’t want 4.75BS. I would have preferred 4 or 4.25 but there’s not a lot out there in that offset.

Same here...4.25 in a 17x8.5 would be awesome. Did the spare wheel fit without issues? I imagine the low backspacing covered up the rear camera view?

Raceline is probably your only option I think. Yes it fit fine, backup camera is still ok just don’t see the red anymore.

Ended up going with the machete crawl beads. Thanks for the help guys!

Looks good. Did you powder coat the wheels or are they offering them in black now with a bare ring? I had to get black rings with black wheels when I bought mine. It looks good until the first rock rash.

Thanks. They offer them like this. Either all polished or face black with a polished ring.

Just FYI, KMC does NOT make a centercap for it.

This is what I ended up using, fit perfectly.

AWESOME! Thank you!

For those curious about b/u camera view, this is with 4.75” XD321’s with the Teraflex Alpha tire carrier (basically the stock camera location)

the Machetes XD229’s are offered with the machined ring like this. The RG Race XD231’s come with a black ring (or fully machined)
