I was one of the first if not the first to have champion convert a set of welds to beadlocks back in 1999 on my outlaw 10.5 car...the reason...... they were 14" wide, and like said above the tire was "stretched" to fit. actually the shop owner were I worked part time thought the idea I was the guinea pig....of course all the "experts" said it would not work well...nevertheless, it became the norm for those types of cars over the years
