I thought I had read somewhere that the 16.5" rims were bad for losing bead when wheeling. Not that it's not capable with any wheel and rim combo, I just thought I read the 16.5"s were worse.

 

i still got 15 "

 

As do I. I have also been reading that they are going to start phasing those out slowly. Which I think is HORSE****

 

Yup, no inner bead so you can't air them down much or they'll pop right off. Seen folks on the web welding they're own inner bead, but then they're stuck using a sawzall to get the tire off of it.

 

you know you'd pimp this all over jersey


p.s. found a pic of you and you look like my uncle

 

i have never had any problem with that.

 

it's from lowered air pressure in the tires. i've drove with my 38's as low as 8-10psi on 16.5's without an issue, but that was just down the block to the gas station to fill them up. i wouldn't wheel with them that low though.

 

like i said before, i never had any problem. and i would regularly air down to 10 lbs for running on the beach.
not once did i ever pop a bead.

 

no, that is something you would do..

the kids say i look like santa.

 

Hey man, thanks for verifying, and actually explaining what the problem was.

 

notice the thread stopped so i thought i'd get it going again

 

I race with 10psi in the rear on 16.5 rims and Ive never popped a bead.

The front with 35psi is another story...

 

well the thread stoped so i brought it upon my self to revive it....

nothin much just a lil muddy

 

thought id add a pic of my friends first attempt, did go to well haha
