If you're running 44's, one would assume you need beadlocks.

Cheapest thing would be HMMWV beadlocks, but they're 8 lug.

Otherwise, Staz, Allied, etc.

I'm not worried about them coming off the bead, i wont air them down i stay out of the rocks. All my yota see's is mud, trails, and water. I ordered a set from eaton 16.5x14, im gonna see how they work. When these tires wear out im gonna go back to 15" rims.

All situations where airing down can help ...

Normally, I would say stay away from those wide wheels as they will cause more fitment issues, but you probably have way more lift and way less fender ...

the way i see it, more air in the tires the more chances ill float lol. I've always liked the looks of a super wide tire, its just an aggresive look to me. I still have Plenty of fender it is just above the tire, so when im runnin 30mph and hit a deep rut my tire wont snatch amy fender off lol.
