Would I need to run a 10.5 or 12.5 tire?
For the Dirty Life Race Wheels DT-1 9303 Simulated Beadlock Wheel, which features a 17x9 dimension, you have the flexibility to run either a 10.5-inch or a 12.5-inch wide tire, but the choice depends on your specific setup and goals.
12.5-inch Wide Tires (Most Common): A 9-inch wide wheel is the "sweet spot" for a 12.5-inch wide tire (like a 35x12.50R17). It provides enough width to support the tire's footprint while keeping the bead seated securely when airing down for off-road use.
10.5-inch Wide Tires: While less common on a 9-inch rim, it is within the safe mounting range for most tire manufacturers. This will give the sidewall a slightly "stretched" look compared to the 12.5-inch, which some prefer for weight savings and better fuel economy.

Can I use OEM lug nuts with these wheels?
Dirty Life does not provide the specification. I would suggest spline drive lug nuts based on the appears of what looks to be more narrow than factory lug openings. Thanks for your inquiry.

Can you use the Jeep OEM wheel center cap in these wheels?
No, the bore size is not correct for Mopar center caps. Thanks for your inquiry.

From what I've seen, most 17x9 -38 offset wheels are actual beadlocks. Are these still a simulated beadlock with -38 offset? Also, since these can be converted to an actual beadlock wheel, could I take the simulated ring off and powder coat both the wheel and ring seperate colors?
The ring is what determines its ability to be a true bead lock. The rings that are supplied with this kit are designed to seat tight against the outer lip of the wheel, and the tire is mounted traditionally inside the bead. The ring upgrade kit will have an offset groove to accept the bead of the tire so you can mount the tire on the outside of the lip and run as a true bead lock. Please contact our sales team at 1-800-745-5337 for assistance with a Ring Upgrade Kit. As for the powder coating, once these are stripped you should be able to re finish them to suit your needs.

What size tires will mount to these rims?
On the 9" we recommend the widest tire at 12.5" on either the 17" or 20" diameter wheels.

Will I need spacers for a wheel going on a 2011 JKU with a 4.53" backspace?
4.53" backspacing will provide enough clearance for most sizes of tire depending on the lift height. Wheel spacers are not recommended on aftermarket wheels that already have less backspacing than stock.

It says beadlock wheel and simulated beadlock ring included. Is it a functional beadlock or not?
This configuration is simulated and not a functional beadlock. The wheel can be converted to functional with the beadlock ring sold separately.
