[QUOTE="T&ERun;3455635"]I'm looking at getting new wheels. I would love to see pics of different backspaces with 4" lifted rigs with 37s, specifically 37x13.50. I'm running 17x9 with 4.75bs and spidertrax spcers (1.5") now. So I'm right around 3.25"bs now right? I think my tires stick out just a tad too much. What are most of you running for backspace to avoid running spacers? I think I want a double beadlock wheel like Hutchison (or other?) unless you guys can talk me out of it. Is the double beadlock really worth it? Will it allow one to air down even farther than you would with a "regular" beadlock? Maybe that is unnessacary though. So, any input appreciated. Oh, also, how many of you run a beadlock on your spare? I personally would think that is overkill but again, tell me why and talk me into buying 5 instead of 4. Show me some pics too. Thanks Also, I'm not too concerned with DOT. I just want a reliable beadlock that has the correct backspace for my tire size and lift.[/QUOTE

Why do you need beadlocks? Are you currently losing beads? Are your buddies running trails you can't (and want to) because your tires won't hook up? Is it just to look cool?

Thanks for the input. Sounds like ATX Slabs. My worry was with only outer beadlocks you can still pop the inner bead off, but it sounds like that really doesn't happen. True? I like the Hutchinson beadlock but it only comes in a 4.63" bs. Not enough without spacers and I want to ditch the spacers I'm using now.
Nwapache, what size tires are you running? Thanks for posting the pics.
