Beadlocks

[jmhend]

Does anyone know of a beadlock manufacturer that makes a 3.5” backspacing wheel?

I am running the factory 5x5.5 bolt pattern. 17” wheels are preferred. So ultimately I am looking for a 17x9x5.5 with a 3.5” backspace.

Thanks

I wouldn't see why they wouldn't..

I agree but I only can find 4” bs.

With 17" wheels you should have all the clearance you need. Is half an inch really going to matter?

Great question. I am running 17’s with 4” bs and they still rub on my pitman arm and shock mounts. Not to be mean but yes I do think a 1/2” matters. Some women may want to comment about does a 1/2” really matter but I will leave that up to them to answer.

These are the only ones I’m aware of.

Raceline used to make them but you had to call them. No idea if they still can accomplish that.

I despise wheel spacers. Been known to build custom axles to get away from them.

Perfect I will give these a look. I know what is going to happen. I am going to buy beadlocks then switch to a Dana 60, 609 etc and probably have to change wheels again. Haha

Thank you sir

Trail ready on the wildhorses site 17 by 8.5 shows 3.5 backspace as an option.....as well as 15 by 9 in multible backspace options

Thanks. I have a friend that had TR’s and he could never get them to balance.

I bought some 17" Eagle Alloys with the 3.75" backspacing and had Champion convert them to beadlocks for me. This was quite a few years ago though.

Thank you. Clearly there are more out there than I thought. I appreciate all of the comments and help.

Too bad you can’t live with 15’s, my ATX Slabs are 3.5” back spacing and I’m selling them cheap.

I know if they were 17’s we wouldn’t be having this post.

Dirty Life has that option but you have to start with their blank bolt pattern. I had to order through a off road tire shop and they arranged for Dirty Life to drill the 5x5.5 bolt pattern. DL doesn't seem to have any way to directly contact them hence why i used a local shop. Link below for the wheel but not the tire shop
