Hillbilly

maybe but now they have nothing so at low pressure they can just slip off the bead. Jake has bead locks but I am still using factory rims and have a set of turbines (that look awsome) but come with no safety bead.

how wouldnt be? there is a piece of ****ing steel blocking/locking in the bead (has nothing to do with the rim diameter)

Except that a 16.5" bead is more angled than standard tire beads. I used to mount a lot of tires for Demo/Figure 8 cars that used that trick on standard 15" rims. Sure they were kind of a *****, but I never ruined a tire. I would imagine that a 16.5" would be a lot less trouble.

It has everything to do with rim diameter. All this is doing is making a 16.5 similar to a all other rims.

No, I know what you're saying- breaking the bead off the rim and getting it past that wire would tear up the tire. I'm saying it really won't if you're careful.

maybe you can take off the tire without ****ing it up, it just looks to me like it would be a pain in the balls and way easier to **** up the bead
Hillbilly

Maybe but right now they have no safety bead so you can't air them down as much and keep the tire on the rim. Looks like a cheap way to keep the tire on.

If you did in fact know anything about 16.5" rims, you would understand that this mod isn't going to make dismounting a tire any more difficult than dismounting the tires on any of the vehicles that you own Spencer. Your wheels are like this from the factory . . .

how many 16.5 wheels have you dismounted with this modification?
a ****ing strand of steel, welded to a wheel, is not the same as a safety bead on a factory style wheel.
you dont understand what I am saying.
82355

I understand what you are trying to say. You don't know what you are talking about. They aren't welding a piece of 3/8" rebar on the rim. . .

I know its not a 3/8 rebar you numb nuts, but its not something that was manufacturered and I can see how it would be a pain in the ass/would tear up a bead.
thats my opinion
btw, thanks for the picture because ive never ever ever ever seen one of those before.

I know, and you kinda partially agreed with me...if you get jethro out back breaking down a tire, there is a good chance that he might have some trouble/** up a tire yah? (especially if some schmuck welded the wire in all fked up)
thats all im saying.

3rd December 2009, 04:05 PM
I've never done it on a modified 16.5" rim, but have done it on 15" demo cars. It is kind of a pita on 15's because they have a safety bead from the factory. Just use a bead breaker. This isn't difficult.

I can say that in the 3 years I worked at Anderson Ford I rarely saw 16.5's... I mounted 1,000's of tires and on F250's all the way to F550's the most common rim diameters were 16's 17's and some 18's on King Ranchs'. Some of the F450's and 550's even had 19.5's but not 16.5's
82355
11th December 2009, 06:56 AM
That is because 16.5" tires haven't been used by the OEM for almst 30 years. On top of that, Ford switched to a metric 8 lug pattern, as opposed to the almost universal 8 lug pattern previously used by Chervolet, Dodge, and Ford. Meanig that you couldn't just use an old 16.5" rim from an old pickup on a newer pickup, in order to accomodate a 16.5" tire. Someone would actually have to make a 16.5" rim, in a metric pattern. I have never seen one, and I highly doubt that Spencer has either.

I dont know why you have such a problem grasping a simple concept...cheap stamped steel wheels to replace a badly designed production wheel...

well we have about 1000 F250's with 16.5 wheels, ive seen a few.
All of which are located in Salt Lake City.
82355
18th December 2009, 03:35 PM
(has nothing to do with the rim diameter)
it doesnt, it has to do with the fact that they welded up some janky ****, do it on any wheel, it dont matter, safety bead or no safety bead
So it doesn't matter what height you have to push the bead over, an eighth of an inch or two inches is all the same???

that truck I posted a picture of is located in salt lake city.

they were all retrofitted because the ford standard stamped steel wheel was having mud pack problems causing vibration...but hell you know more than me.
All of them are in . Salt Lake City, yet the oil change scheduler has been looking at the inside of their rims.
Bobby Light
18th December 2009, 03:41 PM

Bobby Light

18th December 2009, 03:44 PM
allthough I will say, all of our brand new trucks get 17 alum wheels.
These must be in addition to the 1000, er wait, 714 that have retrofit 16.5" rims and that are all kept in Salt Lake City.
Bobby Light
18th December 2009, 03:45 PM

82355
18th December 2009, 03:46 PM
they were cheap, and when you are buying a shitload of them, that makes a difference.
Must have not been to cheap, they had the oil change scheduler flown out to Salt Lake City to bust tires.
Bobby Light

looking through the data on our trucks, it looks like mid 2007 trucks were ordered with 17's
So are all the F250's in Salt Lake City mid 2007's and later, or are there newer ones out there as well? If there are that means they have over 714 F250's out there! Crazy . . .
Bobby Light

you gonna say that you were wrong, and that you dont know everything about 16.5 wheels and everything else?
Coming from the guy that has yet to prove he knows anything about 16.5" rims.

I still am not buying it till I see a 16.5" tire mounted on a metric 8 lug rim on a new F250.
FYI, you are wrong about that.
So you are saying that even if you were to produce pictures, I still shouldn't believe you? That's odd. A few clear pictures is all I asked for in order to believe it.

yeah, because I would have to take a very close up picture to get the letters and then you would call BS on that because you cant see the rest of it, and then when I take a picture of the rest, you cant see the 16.5 letters.
Plus, I would have to bother someone on the job to take the pictures for me, and the truck would have to be clean.
so FA-Q
