XTM Wheels provides a much better sidewall with XL's then any 40's wheel can. I love Axials Beadlocks aswell but with 40's wheels and XL's it's hard to keep your sidewall strength.

Hey run2jeepn, are these what you are talking about? http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/149939.asp If so, what adapters does one need to adapt to a clod axel?

Narrow the axials and keep the beadlocks.
If your gonna run it cheap for awhile don't put
foams in the stock clod tires. I ran em, stock no foam
and they worked well.
