Which is why it is better to do both sides of the wheel when using screws. Most times people only use 8 screws per side. That's 16 screws. 16 screws is still 85% shy of the holding capacity of ONE bead lock. Hence the reason you only need one beadlock.


like i said, "unless someone knows for sure"
thanks for the lesson buddy

I think I will put eight on each side, because that works out since I have 32 screws.
