2024 R has anyone beadlocked?

[HighwaySentinel]

This is the look I want on my 24 R! Totally changes the wheel and I like it. Okay really dumb question but can you use these rings without technically beadlocking? Meaning not puncturing the tire? Also mind sharing where ya got em?

Puncturing the tire??? Time to hit up Youtube and see how beadlock wheels actually work.

Sorry lol! I don’t know why the hell I typed puncture! I meant removing the tire.

If you want the look of the true beadlock ring just remove the Beauty ring install the true beadlock ring with shorter bolts

Thanks that’s what I’ll likely do. Just need to find the parts!

@915GT500 That's not how it works. You have to use the longer bolts regardless but you would have the gap where the bead would seat. It would look horrible.

The gap is there with or without the bolts, the ring has a flange behind it that spaces it away from the wheel face.

So these bead lock rings will fit the 2024 Raptor R Wheel?

Yes, I just did this to my '24. Also went with 37x12.50x17 Toyo Open country RT's. They are rated 2" wider than the BFG's..

So there is no issues with the rings fitting on the 2024 raptor R rims? There’s nothing special about the rings. They fit the 2024 just as well as the 2023 raptor art?

I’m hearing that there may be a special ring for the 2024 raptor rim but I’m not sure. It looks like those ones that you have fit just fine. Did you find any difference?

No. Ford has failed once again to update their info. The 2024R uses the non 37 package beadlock ring. There is no need for the notches in the ring. Look at the photos people posted in the thread.

I like the look of the notched ones. Will they work the same? I assume the non notched and notched ones mount the same correct?
