****EDIT**** please read the entire thread as updates/ modifications have been made... i dont want to mislead anyone.....

i saw this a few months ago so its not my idea, its my take on it, but still not original... i just ordered new ltb's, 40s, and 17" soft 8 wheels, i wanted an internal beadlock but i am to cheap... i was going to run H1s, but i didnt want an adapter in the rear and i also liked the new ltbs, so this is how it works.... at least my take, by using 17" wheels i was able to come up w/ some used low profile 17" tires, most tire shops will give them away... i put the low pro inside of the LTB and and then used a tube in the low pro... you need to put some holes in the low pro tread, i used 3/16" drill bit, as the valve stem for the LTB is inside of it... once it is all mounted, air up the LTB a couple of psi short of the intended pressure, then air up the tube... it is contained by the low pro and just pushes on the inside bead... its just like a staun except i did it for $60, not $700... here is how the tires look prior to mounting, yes they are a bitch to get inside one another, but doable...

this is what they look like mounted, no different than a regular wheel and you can casually brag about how you have internal BL...

Looks like it might work. :o
Like cheap stauns. Uses roadbike tubes within the low pro tyre from the couple pages I read.

A few people tried similar and failed though so it may be a bit hit or miss but it looks like it worked for a few people in that thread.

Cheap enough to have a go at.

fark thats awesome :lol:

I guess you'd have to be bang on with the width of the inner tire for it to work.


AND.. not only do you end up with beadlockers... You also end up with runflats :lol: :lol:
