So my wife just to owner ship of a 2023 Rubi Extream. I was wondering if any has had trouble with Tire shops not mounting the tires due to the bead lock capibility? Do They just mount like regular wheels and tires? TIA

I went and read up on the Extreme package. The wheels include are "beadlock capable" - tire shops will mount tires traditionally on those wheels. To use the beadlock feature, you might need to use a place like 4 Wheel Parts or a local 4x4 shop.

Awesome Thank you Mouse, Most likely will never use the bead lock due to DOT refs. Thanks again.

Like they said, they get mounted normally under most conditions.
If you want to use them like true beadlocks, the outer part of the tire, stays outside the rim, and then you sandwich the rubber between the Rim and the Beadlock Ring, and then proceed to tighten down a whole bunch of bolts 3-5 separate times, in increasing torque specs.
It's easy, but time consuming

There is a locally owned tire shop here in our small town that will work on anything from a wheelbarrow tire to a tractor tire so they mounted my bead locks and torqued down the bolts (I brought a digital torque gizmo for a ratchet for them to use.)

If you are going to air down to ~10 pounds or less I highly recommend you do the beadlock thing.

Seems to me that the other Mopar Bead lock wheels had like 32-36 bolts for the retaining ring? Sorry not sure how include pics with descriptions.

Click on the Insert Image icon in the menu bar - it's next to the paperclip looking icon. Drag the picture to the popup box. Once the picture is in the reply-to area you can add text on top or below the picture.

Indeed, they have 25 !!

So I guess, the ones on my wifes rig are not true bead locks, which is fime as I don't see using them. Thanks for the picture

They are real ones. What ends up happening is you remove the Ring that is held on by the 10 bolts.
They call that a Beauty ring, since it's not actually doing anything other than looking pretty, and replace them with 4 of these

Here is a pretty good picture that shows the new actual beadlock ring and rim

Still think they should be able to mount the tires.

I also wonder if the ring that came with the wheels does not have all the bolt holes and is of course there for looks. Then they can sell you the beak lock kit for as much as an aftermarket beadlock wheel. Oh wait, looked at the link, that is close to the case, almost 300 per wheel to make them bead locks.

I've been going to the same tire guy for 25 years for all vehicles. When I upped from 35s to 37s on the 392 XR they just put 'em on. No questions asked. Those are just bead lock beauty rings, no matter how many screws they have.

agree
If you don't get the actually Beadlock ring
Tires mount just like they do on any other wheel
