Anyone make 16" beadlocks that will work with daytona style wheels? I know MRT doesn't make any 16"ers. I have to run 16" wheels to clear my brakes.

what brakes do you have to clear? like what axles you got and whats the offset on your wheels? i hope you can modify your brakes to fit 15s otherwise 16 beadlocks are spendy

Brad... I am almost certain that MIKE is runnning the DANA60 front and the CORP14 in the rear. The 16" rims are needed to clear the calipers.

IMHO... Calipers, like other components, are made made to certain specs and shouldn't be messed with. You have probably heard of guys that grind down the calipers to fit 15" wheels to avoid the cost of going to 16" gear. So, what is your life worth:question: How about the innocents on the street or trail that you take out when yer brakes fail:question:

Just my .02!!

BTW ... Rockstomper is the :nuke: when it comes to the quality stuff!

Thanks for the advice. The rockstomper's are exactly what I was looking for. I've got some 12" discs w/ big calipers to clear on a dana 44. I'd rather not grind 'em and I like the stopping power of the big brakes. I also found out that the Avalanche rings will work with my daytona wheels. ...but I think the rockstompers are more in line with my budget.
