Are my beauty rings rotating and pinching the stem because they don't seat all the way with BFG ATs? I just read on here someone said they don't work. They all appear to be seated fully.

I had problems with my rings not seating right after I installed the BFG AT's on my '89 Burb. You could hear them squeak against the rubber driving down the road.

I have the rallye wheels that used to be on the classic camaros and corvettes on my suburban with 3" beauty rings and the bfgoodrich at's have that "rim guard" on it and would cause my rings to go rolling down the highway. Before those tires they never did it.

Well that blows. The truck looks awesome with them on. I guess I'll look for a way to safety wire them in place

You can look for another set of beauty rings, some of the ones from the 60's-70's GM cars didn't hug the rim so tightly. Same goes for a lot of the universal aftermarket replacements. If you buy new ones though, make sure to get stainless. The chrome ones will rust extremely quick.
