17x10 beadlocks (1 Viewer)

[GreatLakesWaterjet]

Just a teaser. Just recieved my beadlock kit from http://diy4x.com/ Kert is the man when it comes to doing custom work! If you would like a set of these, just tell him Dave at FB Fabworks sent ya. I'm welding these tonight and should have them mounted on my 37s before the weekend is over. I will post with progress.

Couldn't resist. Had to weld them up tonight. Not bad. About a 2 hour job for all 5.

 

[Dusty]

Damn sweet. Are those tacoma steelies you welded to or what?

They look kinda like rockcrawlers series 97 maybe?

 

[GreatLakesWaterjet]

Yea, Rockcrawler 97s in a 17x9 with a 4.25" B.S. This turned them into 17x10s.

Pics installed on 37x12.50x17 Truxus M/Ts with 850/860 springs with a 1" spacer in the front. They fit and drive good down the road, but fender trimming and paint job is coming soon!






Sorry for the crappy pics. Its kinda dark in the garage and raining outside.

Those 37"'s are wery wery Nice!!! I am thinking of doing a 4inch man-a-fre lift and 37"'s but i will have to regear, have 35''s right now (they are small to me already)!

Nice,
2 things... I assume you can reach the air valve to air up and down with that center hole cut out.

Also, (looking at the last picture) can you get out of your garage with the tires on or do you need to air down just to get out

Yes I can reach the air valves no problem. I've got about 2" left to get out of the garage with the tires aired up.

By the water on the floor of the garage around the truck and the fact that he said that it was raining outside, it looks like he made it in okay.

Edit: beat me to it.

 

[GreatLakesWaterjet]

Couple of new pics. Still not finished. Fender mods on the way!

How far do your tires stick out past the fenders with out the flares?

Very nice!!! How do they drive on the road and how much$$$ ?

About 2" to 2.5". These are 4.25" backspaced wheels.

They drive great, I've got 12 oz of Air-Soft pellets in each one. Gotta put some more miles on them before I'm completely sold on this. I'll have to add up the $$$.

Dusty, I still have a lot of body work to do to get the clearance I'm looking for. After I'm done with that, I will determine if it needs more lift. I hope not, but it kinda looks like 4" to 5" springs might be best. I still have bumpers and other weight to add.

I've got the same springs... and 33's! Wow... those 37's make it look sweet.

 

[GXO]

hmmm...37s keep taunting me damnit!

Looks cool!
