Measuring for beadlock

[MrWednesday]

Hey guys, I’m clearly a mega newb, been in the dream since November. Can I please get some advice on how to search for some rubber that will fit these? With a caveat of course; I’m not looking for crawler tires, and yes, I know these rims are made for a crawler. From the little I’ve learned, I’ve deduced that they are MT I think that means they are both sides the same measurement. I’d like some tires that can get up to speed maybe off-road on road maybe paddles, even slicks. Maybe it’s impossible with the size. maybe it’s a one off I don’t know.

Can make a lot of tires work(custom cut) depending on rpm and usage with adequate foams. What do the rings look like, not a lot of clamping on only 6 threads but aluminum is obviously more rigid. Just need to confirm its flatness, basher or crawler??

Outside of crawlers / trail trucks I have not had much success with beadlock wheels. If bashing or speed stick with a good quality ca glue and standard wheels and tires. If premounted check the bonding anyway and add glue as needed.

I know they’re not gonna be great for high speeds, but I’d like to at least be able to rip around some off roading maybe? Probably push them to their limit and then stay below it. Maybe I should rough up or add grooves to that clamp? Ad a little friction? Or maybe these will be strictly show pieces? I am obsessed with keeping my car is looking as good as they run.

That’s enough surface area clamp to try without glue, just need to find a tire/foam. Proline hyrax for UDR might be a good reference candidate
