Ok, could someone talk to me about what a reverse wheel is?

Like for instance on Rockstomper.com it says:
"Beadlocks require that the tire be mounted over the outer bead. On certain brands and sizes of reversed wheels, combined with certain brands and sizes of tires, this can be difficult. Please verify that your wheels are mountable in this manner prior to welding beadlocks onto them."

What is a reversed wheel??

I am planning on getting some new 15x8" wheels with a 2.5" BS, and I will run 37x15x12.50 MTRs. It seems you guys are talking about backspacing is relation to a reversed center? How does that relate to how difficult it is to mount a wheel? :headscratch: I know that the mounting point is moved deeper into the tire (less backspacing) but I wouldn't call that a "reversed wheel." A reversed wheel to me sounds like you just took a regular 3.5" BS wheel and reversed the wheel around (flipped it around) and are mounting it on backwards trying to get less BS.

Also generalee7, are you saying that for instance if I used a wheel with like a 1" or 0" BS, then the odds of loosing the inner bead would be Greatly increased?

:help: someone? :wave:

Thanks
Mike
