I'm not sure on that. How did you weld them? Have any pictures? When I did mine I welded all the way over the lip. |

If your describing things correctly, I would have left it on there. That projected lip would center the tire on the rim, without it the tire could wobble on the bead lock side. |

that bead would be to big mike. the tire wouldn't actually center on it because the bead is smaller on the tire. |

There was or is a beadlock kit that required you to cut off part of the wheel bead, the part that formes the largest diameter. What was left was part of the wheel that the inside of the tire bead would slide onto, the ring was set back forming a sholder that the tire centered onto. Kyle who's wheel kit is that and does it simply weld to the outside lip of the wheel? Sorry for any confusion. |
