Topic: 15x10 in. wheels with 2" b.s.?

[lownlinked85]

Ok so Im in the market for new wheels I really want to run these wheels my buddy is gonna sell me they are 15x10 with a 2" backspacing. Im gonna run them on 35's for now just wanted some  about these wheels also I want to DIY them is anybody running a similar setup let me know I want opinions from everyone

I run 15x8 with 2" backspacing, I like them because they make you wider without using spacers.

[lownlinked85 [OP]]

but would 15x10 be too much especially if I diy them they will be 15x11.  Mavericks do you have any problems running such a backspaced wheel?

[Peterbuilt84]

You can't do diy beadlocks with wheels that have that much backspacing. The safety bead is on the wrong side.

Ramon,  these wheels suck. They're like runnin 3 inch spacers all around

Yeah I was thinking about it I was gonna ask you how they did on the trail, but ill just wait til a good set of wheels comes along I found some on the chico craigslist they are 15x10  with 3 inch backspacing they re beadlocks I dont know I guess Ill just wait for a good set of wheels.

[Peterbuilt84]

No problem man  I've looked into it before, if you want beadlocks with that much backspace you'll have to get custom ones.

[lownlinked85 [OP]]

yup plus for the price I might as well go with allieds or something with a good price.

I've been running 2" bs 15x10's for six years. No beadlocks. Never lost a trunion bearing or a bead, even at 5psi.

I've never had any problems with wheel bearings or trunion's and Ive had them for about 4 years. With an 8" rim I air down pretty low about 4-5psi and have never lost a bead either.

i heard of a problem with DIY on 2.5" bs because of a weak side look up 89yotas build
