Warning: Converting the bead-lock compatible wheel to true bead-locks is for off-road use only. On road
driving is not permitted.
Warning: Ford Performance only recommends using bead-lock rings from Ford Performance, in
conjunction with the OEM tire. Any other combination using this wheel could result in air loss or tire
failure.
STEP 1: Existing Wheel and Tire,
when installing bead-lock rings on factory OEM bead-lock compatible
wheels and not replacing the tires. Using a level surface or on a tire machine if available release air from tire by
removing valve stem core. Remove trim ring then break outer bead of tire off wheel and pull over outside of outer
wheel flange. INew Ford Performance wheels and tires, go to STEP 2.
STEP 2:
Place a liberal amount of tire soap on the outer flange and force the inner bead over the wheel. Use a
rocking motion until entire bead has cleared the outer flange. Tire soap can be obtained at your local auto parts
store or online.
We recommend Myers #8 MTS Europaste or equivalent. (See Pic 2.1)
