I have a set of Hutchinson beadlocks that I used to run on my H1. They are heavy, but I really liked them. I used them on the street or trail with no issues.

They one of the very few bead lock wheels that are DOT approved. I personally don't like the Mopar version, but I do love the original. On my wish list.

The differences are due to the thickness of the tire bead.
The wheels are the same but the rubber belt that forces the tire bead into the rim are different. So make sure you order the one that matches the tires you will use.

Love my Hutchinsons, one of the best choices in Jeep wheels.

If you are planing to buy new tires soon and they are in a different group then you better wait.

As a matter of fact you got me thinking. I to want to change tires eventually as well. I want to bump up to 37s. I currently run Cooper STTs 35" and I want the Toyo MTs 37". I wonder which group they are in? These wheel are very $$$ and would suck big time if my new tires don't fit these wheels

My tires are not on your list. Where can I find out which group my current and future tires are in?

Good info
