H1 beadlock rims.

[CycleJay]

Hi guys,

Please excuse me if this is a bad question, but I am curious.

Can H1 beadlock rims be used on an M1009?

Not without spacers/adapters or recentering. The HMMWV is 8 lug.

Or changing the axles.

Thank you guys for answering my questions.

That is all I wanted to know.

Patracy, you may close this thread now if you like. I got the answer I seek.

Good day,

Hi guys,

I have a new question.

Is there an advantage to beadlock rims over regular rims?

 

[patracy]

There's a wealth of information about beadlocks here, just need to search...

Or think about what the name implies.

Patracy,

Thanks for the idea. My apologies..

Why do you think you need beadlock rims? Are you offroading? Or is it just for looks? Or maybe to increase highway mph (although the 1009 already is fast enough)? My concern would be the axles holding up to to additional weight and stress that you would see offroad.

If you are going to be going offroad and want to upgrade to the H1 beadlocks and 36" or 37" tires I would recommend swapping out axles for stronger set. Or you could just run them until it breaks and then get something stronger.

Beadlocks are only needed for serious offroading, where you're wanting to run a low PSI in the tires for traction.

Hi guys,

I do not think I need beadlock, I was just curious.
Because I see talk about them here every so often,
so I wanted to know more about them.

That is all, I do not need them, as I do not do any serious off-roading
(yet, anyway...) Mostly street driving..

So I just wanted to learn something new today, and I have now.


Thank you, good day,
