Get a can of "Bead Sealer" from AZ or similar bendor. Black, goo, tar like substance. Helps in some situations. I had a Ground Hawg that the bead was torn apart and it worked OK. I know Galloway's uses it on questionable used tire mounts, or at least they have in the past.

That is what I was going to ask. If you have 15x8s that could be the reason why. I run my 34x9.5s on 15x6s with the best results.

aren't those 7" rims?
I second the bead sealer stuff. it works.
also, you can make your regular wheels into bootfy fab beadlocks. just take self tapping sheetmetal screws and go through the outerlip of the wheel and into the inner lip of the tire. it's booty-licious

yeah, they use it sometimes on drag cars. Like I said it's cheap. I don't see why it wouldn't work. I've seen square roll cages that hold up. It's not the best in the world but if done right it'll hold.

Wheel screws are great for keeping them from spinning around the wheel, but will rip the bead all to pieces under a hard side load on the trail. I've used the bead sealer and black prematex, and in a bind one night roofing tar. the bead sealer goo is the best bet.
