hey its daver 05-24-2002, 10:00 PM i'm buying some tsl's soon, i am running my 33s on 16.5" rims now, should i keep these and get the 36/12.50x16.5 TSLs, or pay a little bit more and get some 15" rims to run the 36/12.50x15 on? Is there any advantage to larger/smaller rim diameter? robert stone 05-24-2002, 10:11 PM <FONT COLOR="Yellow"><FONT size="2">get the 15" with out a dought</FONT s></FONT c> goldenarrow 05-24-2002, 11:58 PM yeah i agree tires will be much cheeper in the future tj7 05-25-2002, 01:41 AM two words HUMMVEE RIMS..... :flipoff2: definately go with 16.5 they are not much more expensive and you will have smaller side wall and be able to run double locked humvee rims. that is not even a dilema.... Nikkon 05-25-2002, 03:06 PM I'd go with the 15" rim for sure. A 16.5 rim doesn't have an inner and outer safety bead like a 15" does. That means that when your tires are aired down it's much easier to lose a bead on a 16.5" than on a 15" rim since it doesn't have those grooves holding the tires on.;) Then again if you'll be running beadlocks who cares!:D tj7 05-25-2002, 06:20 PM humvee rims have dual beadlocks what are you talking about dude...trail ready makes beads for 16.5 but they are not that greqat humvee is the best and only way to go for a 16.5 ten times stronger then any beadlock out there bar none....:flipoff2: Nikkon 05-25-2002, 06:48 PM Originally posted by tj7 humvee rims have dual beadlocks what are you talking about dude...trail ready makes beads for 16.5 but they are not that greqat humvee is the best and only way to go for a 16.5 ten times stronger then any beadlock out there bar none....:flipoff2: What I'm talking about is exactly what I said. Everything I said is true. What you didn't pay attention to is that I said "If you're running beadlocks then it doesnt matter." What I'm saying is if he's going to run beadlocks then it doesn't matter what size of rim he runs because the safety bead is not an issue.:shaking: Otherwise, if he's not going to use beadlocks then I would stick with the 15" rim because it has the safety bead on both sides of the rim. tj7 05-25-2002, 08:28 PM hey dude you have no idea what you are talking about....:flipoff2: 16.5 DO NOT have the safety bead that is why the only rim that anyone would run would be the humveer rim as it locks both sides.trail ready makes a 16.5 beadlock but ....its not that reliable that is why not many companys do 16.5 beads ie. mrt,champion and so on.dont tell me what you said ,i know what you said:p | |
