My 15" rims are from Eaton and came with Allied Beadlocks. I purchased them 2nd hand, but they appear to be of high quality. I've never dealt with Eaton or Allied directly however. I'm still going to have to grind the calipers on my front 60 though.

I would love some Allied Beadlocks but I want the rig up and running and don't have the bling this year to get the beadlocks so I'm going for the regular steels.Paul Hartman

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'd love to get mine running, though I think I'll be quite a bit closer here if I can sell off some of my extra parts. I lucked out with the deal I got. All 4 15x12 beadlock rims for $400. Couldn't pass that up.

The guy I seen with his done is running 40in swampers. You only take the bare min to get them to clear and it works great. If you read on POR you will see many running that way with no prob.Paul Hartman

Paul, it's definitely do-able. you might want to try 4wheel parts. that's where i got my steelies at. i had 15x10 with 2 3/4" BS. they ran around $200 and change for the set.Places to Wheel in the Southeast

Paul, 4Wheelparts for sure. I've had great luck with their black rockcrawler steelies and I'm pretty certain their 15x10 8lug stuff if 3.5" stock. But, they make custom backspacing for like $10 bucks extra a wheel which is pretty sweet. Thats how I had mine done. Don't listen to the guys on the grinding, it's totally doable. There is a lot of meat there. Thats like saying it'd dangerous to drive on the road with soft springs, SOA, and no sway bar. Well yea, but so what? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am currently looking for 8 lug wheels as well.. but when i went to 4wheelparts.com they only had 16" wheels listed in the 8 lug catagory.. anyone have a link?
*EDIT*
Anyone ever order from national tire and wheel www.natltire.com ? They have eaton wheels and steelies and they will do custom backspacing and beadlocks. The only thing is that they don't list lug patterns?
How are eaton wheels? any experince guys?
