G T Simulated Beadlock Installation Instructions
With simulated beadlock wheels, you must mount your tires before installing the simulated beadlock ring, and conversely, you must remove the simulated beadlock rings prior to demounting and changing your tires. Included with your wheels are hardware packs that include 16 short, stainless button head Allen bolts, 6 long, stainless button head Allen bolts, and 22 stainless flat washers with each wheel. The 16 short bolts and washers should be installed on the ring in the 16 threaded holes prior to mounting the ring to the wheel.
Once those are installed, you’ll have 6 non-threaded holes left open and those are the holes used to install the beadlock ring onto the welded on ring.
The simulated beadlock ring is attached to the ring that is welded to the wheel by the 6 long bolts and washers, and there are six holes in the simulated beadlock ring that are not threaded which these bolts go through and into the threaded inserts that are already pressed into the welded on ring.
You will have to rotate the simulated beadlock ring, on top the welded ring, in order to align the mounting holes in sequence with the threaded inserts, since the holes are not in an equal pattern. Once lined up, install the long bolts and washers through the holes, and into the threaded inserts, and tighten down. Do not over tighten, as you can, with enough pressure, spin the threaded inserts inside the aluminum mounting ring.
After all bolts and washers are installed, check the tightness of each bolt to make sure the ring is secure.
