I might pretty sure the raptor ones are either more a faux headlock or are in fact DOT approved.

They are a beadlock if you buy the ring kit from ford.

the stock raptor one are beauty rings and are street legel. but you can get the ford racing kit of true beadlock rings and those are illegal.

Says right on both the wheel page and the lock ring page that the bead-lock config is for OFF ROAD USE ONLY.


Also, for what it's worth, It is a known fact that bead locks lose air CONSTANTLY. It is practically impossible to keep them at street pressure for more than a few days. I would assume this also holds true for the raptor bead-lock wheels when in bead-lock config

That's just their lawyers talking. Look at how many products in the aftermarket are labeled "off-road use only" and how many you see rolling down the street.

Well duh. Of course it is. But like already mentioned above it's because beadlock wheels are not DOT approved. And it's just like everything else in this world illegal is just a sick bird and it's not against the law until you get caught.

Beadlocks on. Slight rubbing (no lift or level ATM). Fox 2.0 coilovers go on next week.

Here is a straight on shot from the side. Tried to line up with the running boards so you could see.

I do have the factory flares, which help a bit.

Just curious where and when are you rubbing? I kinda want to put stock raptor size tires on my truck, but really don't want to lift or level it. I actually really like the look of your truck at stock height with the 35's. The filled up fender wells just look "right" to me.

Just barely at full lock. Should be a bit more rubbing with suspension compression. The KO's are 34's I believe.

I'll grab a couple pictures to show clearances.
