    First one took 7 min for me to drop her in the tire all the way. Needed more soapy water. Then to set the bead, 8 min. Ring and all 28 bolts, 30 min of constant torking to 25#

    The last 4 wheels? Well, less than 30 sec to drop it in the tire. 1 min to set the bead, then 20min of torking to 25# each.

    There's only so far of a learning curve. Tightening bolts can only be done a couple different ways.

    Maybe you talked about this somewhere else in the thread, but what made you decide on 20s? Looks like Spyderlock also makes 15s, 17s, and 18s.

    Got 3 full sets of tires and the Rockstar 20" wheels for $400. So that was a huge factor. Then, the crowd of people that go on trips with me all have full sized trucks and SUVs with factory 20" wheels. Figured if I got into a situation and needed another tire, better to be in a similar size as they were.

    All in all, I like the look too. That was until these bead locks. Now the tires just look tiny to me.

    Hadn't really planned on bead locks originally. Then when I considered them, liked what I saw. Now on to 37"s for more sidewall
