4.25" Backspacing on 17's beadlocks possible?
I am going to be getting beadlocks soon and Im curious who makes a 17" beadlock with 4.25" backspacing. Ive been trying to search and look at individual sites but so far no luck. Does such a rim even exist?

Hummmm...AEV Pintler Beadlocks (DOT legal) are around 4.7" bs. Spyderlocks (DOT ?) are 3.5". Rock Monsters (DOT legal) are 4.63" bs.
That a strict requirement the bs be 4.25"?
Might check with the supporting vendors for their advice as well.
Just a friendly reminder that most beadlock wheels are not DOT approved for street use and they do require more attention than just checking the air in the tire. Every few months checking torque on 120 bolts and supposed to replace those bolts every year - I have almost 2 yrs on mine and over the next couple of weekends I'll be tearing all 5 of mine down to replace those 120 bolts/washers holding the beadlock 'ring' to the rim.

Thanks those are exactly what Im looking for. I want to check out the raceline and hutchinson wheels
Not worried about the DOT thing. I'm well aware of the extra maintenance needed. Yes the back spacing is pretty specific. Looks like the walker evans will do the trick.
