Maximizer Beadlock Question

[Bryanshere]

Ok, before I ask this, Crawling is new to me and the answer to my question is probably right in front of me. I just ordered my 18" Pimp Cane chassis today. My plans are Clod axles and a set of beadlocks. Do the Maximizer Beadlocks work on Clod Axles? Is there other options for beadlocks other than Maximizer and Axial?

[jason]

Maximizer, Axial, and proline all make beadlocks. All will require wheel adapters. Axial, and Prolines are for 40 series tires, Maximizers are for maxx sized tires.

I have owned all three and personally like the Axials the best.

I also have a custom built set of 40 series beadlocks made to directly bolt to clod axles, no adapters required.

youll need adaptors for them since they are a 14 and a clod is a 12 maximizer and axial are the cheapest places like rc4wd sell metal ones which are pricey

Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it

the maximizer with the 0 offset do they rub or should i use the adaptors that widen the truck

i'd get the X-75's since they are 3/4" offset. ends up making the truck 1.5" wider

i run maximizer bead locks and some wheel adapters from ACE from here on the board ontop of the Thundertech CVD axleshafts

If you've got the 0 offset Maximizers, our 12-14mm adapters will fix the tire rubbing issue for you. They're probably too wide to use with the X-75 3/4" offset wheels though.

i dont like the look of the x75 ones cpe i seen yours before are they a inch each side or half a inch each side

[CPE MT]

They're 1" offset per side. We had continued problems in getting LST wheels to fit without rubbing so we went a little wider than the other adapters available. They'd also work well with the 0 offset Maximizers. Thanks.
