Wheel bead wall thickness and its implications for BS doesn't affect the tire clearance.. particularly when comparing a theoretical tire/wheel setup with a known one?

This is EXACTLY why I argue that offset is the key factor in determining UCA clearance, not backspace. I’m sure someone will chime in soon telling me why I’m wrong...

You may also want to consider DOT compliant beadlocks, like Hutchinson’s Rock Monster Wheels - they are pretty badass!
