That has been an issue with those beadlocks and M2K's. Mine never would hold a masher bead. I believe it's 62Pyro  in the vendor section that sells some rings that take care of that issue.

M2K's have a thin bead, so you could try to find an O-ring to fit in the bead groove, to take up some of the slack left by the masher thin bead.  Or you could take some material off of the wheel face(1-2mm), so the groove isn't as deep, if you have access to a lathe.

My rc4wd super narrows never let go of a tire, moabs, rock claws, masher 2k's. Until I met the m3 mashers, Tried three different pairs of tires with no luck. I am in the process of getting msd's also.

The Pro-Line tires in general have horribly thin beads. The same issue came up with the 3.2" Pro-Line tires. When Maximizer came out with their beadlocks they worked great with EVERY tire except those from Pro-Line. |

I turned mine down to accept the Masher 2k's and they've been fine ever since, granted they won't hold others now. Oops
