Why do you need Beadlock Wheels? Tech Tip Tuesday with Mac Fab Bead Lock Owner Tommy Kirk

Double Beadlock wheels seem excessive to the weekend warrior. For most of us we think of beadlocks as expensive and overkill. I was first introduced to their importance years ago when I watched a screwed tire rip to shreds on Chris Tuten's wild Turbocharged Mustang.
While at Lights Out 11 last weekend we caught up with Mac Fab Beadlocks owner Tommy Kirk to get some more in depth knowledge about beadlocks. A double beadlock is not only a convenience piece when drag racing, but is also a matter of safety. Tire spin on the wheel, screws, and dismounting can be downright dangerous. But don't take it from us, listen to the pro.
Stay tuned for Next Week's Tech Tip Tuesday where we talk more with Tommy about optimum wheel sizing with specific tires including the 235, 275, and 315 radials!

Good info, I will do a 1.2 60" and move the tire a few inches. I didn't really think about mismatched wheel speed causing the car to pull during launch, or the potential danger of doing so. I will be moving beadlock up on my priority list.

Wow that's a bad ass 60' if you'd get bead locks how much you think that will improve your 60' time ?

Running dirt oval I have marked the tyre on the rim,, both sides. But they turned different amounts. Yes Hoosier X plies which is about all that is available.

I have a question for you all. At the 1:23 mark you talk about the screw screwing into the tire for biasply tires only not radials. Does this screw in with the beadlocks? Thanks for your help.

Does macfab also narrow wheels? I have 17x9.5 front wheels for my cruising set up that I'd like to go smaller with.

@jeremyrichardson3112 2 жыл бұрын

So I have a question at the 1:23 mark you talk about screws going into the tire. Is that with the beadlock?

@jcb454 4 жыл бұрын

Is there a power level or et number where its recommended to go bead lock? Or is it case by case?

@MotionRaceworksOfficial 4 жыл бұрын

jcb454 I think the best way is to keep an eye on tire movement. Put marks on wheels and tires and when they start moving then consider it. N the short term you can also use permatex brand hi tak glue on the bead. That’ll be effective for a while until it’s no longer effective
