Anyone have VMS beadlocks and the ring bolts were too short to mount MT ET Street R bias ply 28x11.5x17? Or am I doing something wrong?

How long are your bolts? I just put new tires on my Forgestar D5 beadlocks a week ago. When you tighten the bolts down in a star pattern, the beadlock ring will compress against the outer bead on the tire. I torqued mine in three stages (10 ft-lbs, 15 ft-lbs and finally, 18 ft-lbs). Itā€™s a slow process, but itā€™s very important to pull the ring down evenly.

The wheels are installed....I've never watched this process done (aside from edited video) but figured it out.

They look good on there! Come back and let us know how it hooks for you after getting a few runs in.
