do beadlock rims need to be torqued up?

[mayor west]

just swapped the tyres on my front omf beadlocks and have been told they need to be torqued up, just wondered if its true and also what do they need to be torqued to?

thanks

almost everything need to be torques to some extent. those beadlock are no different. as to what they need torques to idk. my guess is check out the rim manufactures website

only 10lbs, thats what we always torque at with no leaks. if u torque too much you warp the ring and then you will leak

I would also do some kind of criss-cross pattern and maybe in stages. JMHO,your results may, and will, vary.
