Thinking about running a single beadlock on my CCW 16inch rears. Rear brakes won't allow for a double obviously, and I'm not wanting to spend the $$$ on a 15 inch conversion either.

So, is anyone running a single beadlock out there, 15 or 16. If so, have you noticed any positives or negatives from the switch from no lock, to lock?

Combo is in my sig.

i run a single and haven't had any problems. i was spinning the tires on the wheels a few inches without them.

Yeah I have single 15's feels a lot more stable than previous tires of this size with out a beadlock and seems more stable at high speed,

Has anyone noticed a change in 60ft times due to the increase in rotational weight?

actually my 60' got better but then again i went to a 15" at the same time

i have 16" ccw single beadlocks ...tire dont spin anymore .as far as 60' my whole setup was changed so cant compare

Discussed further with my chassis shop, and we've both come to the conclusion that at this point, my car HAS to be rotating the rim.

I'm headed down to Extreme Fab in CT on Friday to have the Ultra-lite locks installed while I wait.

Once back Ill install the tires with glue on the inside bead.

Single beadlock on 15's here as well no issues @ mid 1.2 60'. I used to turn the wheel on my C6 with a 17" wheel (1.40 60') about .5-1" every pass.

WOW!!! Those look great. Never seen anything like them.

trayack

Thanks man. Hoping they pair nicely with the Weld Full Throttle fronts I have coming...if Weld ever actually makes them.

Finally had a few minutes to mount the tires back on. Lock on the outside and Permatex High-Tack on the inner bead.
