Raceline Beadlock Bolt Kit - 5/16-18 X 1.00in - Grade 8 - 20 piece + 2 extra bolt

Grade 8 Replacement Bolts for Raceline and Allied Beadlock Wheels

The Raceline RCLRBL-BOLT1 Beadlock Bolt Kit provides the 5/16-18 x 1.00 inch grade 8 zinc-coated hardware used to secure beadlock rings on Raceline and Allied Wheel beadlock wheels. Each RCLRBL-BOLT1 kit contains 20 standard bolts plus 2 extras for 22 total, giving you a complete replacement set for most 20-bolt and 24-bolt beadlock ring configurations with spares for immediate field replacement if a bolt is damaged or lost. Grade 8 construction provides the tensile strength required to safely clamp tire beads under extreme off-road and competition use. These bolts are the correct hardware for maintaining beadlock ring clamping torque on Raceline RT81, RT85, and compatible Allied Wheel beadlock models.

About Raceline Wheels

Raceline is an Allied Wheel brand producing off-road wheels and accessories for Jeep, truck, and competition use. The RCLRBL-BOLT1 bolt kit is designed to maintain the performance and safety of Raceline beadlock wheels by ensuring the correct grade and length hardware is always available for ring maintenance and post-trip inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

The RCLRBL-BOLT1 bolt kit is designed for Raceline beadlock wheels using 5/16-18 x 1.00 inch beadlock ring hardware. This includes the Raceline RT81 Rock 8 (32-bolt ring), RT85, and other Allied Wheel beadlock models that use this bolt specification. Always verify your wheel's thread size and bolt length against the kit specs before purchasing, as some Raceline models use different hardware.

Re-torque beadlock ring bolts before every off-road outing and inspect for wear or damage after each use. Bolts that show signs of thread damage, corrosion under the zinc coating, or stretch from over-torquing should be replaced immediately. For hard-use competition vehicles, full bolt replacement every season or after any significant impact is a good maintenance practice.

Raceline typically specifies 15 to 20 ft-lbs for beadlock ring bolt torque. Always refer to the torque specification in your specific wheel's installation manual, as over-torquing can strip threads in the beadlock ring or deform the ring seat. Torque in a star pattern to ensure even clamping force around the full circumference of the bead.

Yes. Grade 8 bolts have a minimum tensile strength of 150,000 PSI, compared to 120,000 PSI for grade 5. For beadlock applications where the ring bolts are the only thing preventing tire debeading at low pressure, grade 8 is the correct specification. Never substitute grade 5 or lower hardware in a beadlock ring application.

Potentially, if your beadlock ring uses 5/16-18 x 1.00 inch threaded hardware at grade 8 specification. However, always verify thread pitch, bolt length, and head type match your wheel's ring design before installing. Using hardware with incorrect dimensions can result in inadequate clamping or thread damage that compromises beadlock safety.

The 2 extra bolts in the RCLRBL-BOLT1 kit are included as field spares. If a bolt is damaged, stripped, or lost during an off-road run, having a spare in the kit means you can replace it immediately and maintain full beadlock ring clamping without waiting for a parts order. This is particularly valuable on extended trail runs far from a parts source.

The zinc electroplating on the RCLRBL-BOLT1 bolts provides corrosion resistance in muddy, wet, and salt-spray environments typical of off-road use. While grade 8 steel without coating would meet strength requirements, bare steel corrodes rapidly in outdoor conditions. The zinc coating extends bolt life and prevents the thread galling that can occur with corroded hardware when re-torquing after exposure.

Standard 3/8 inch drive socket and torque wrench are needed for proper installation and torquing. A calibrated torque wrench is required to achieve the specified 15 to 20 ft-lb clamping torque accurately. An impact driver can be used for initial run-in but should never be used for final torque on beadlock ring bolts.

Installation Notes

1. Remove old or damaged beadlock ring bolts from the ring
2. Inspect the beadlock ring threaded holes for any damaged threads and chase with a 5/16-18 tap if needed
3. Install new RCLRBL-BOLT1 bolts by hand, threading each one in until snug before torquing
4. Torque all bolts in a star pattern to 15 to 20 ft-lbs per Raceline specification
5. Inflate tire to operating pressure and inspect the bead seal around the full ring circumference
6. Re-inspect and re-torque after the first off-road outing with new hardware installed
