CNR 40 series beadlock/rear alloy arms
Just to pass on some info, last night i found out that the CNR Beadlock 40 series rims WILL NOT FIT with rear alloy arms, not sure if the elcons will, but the Lauterbachers will not. I have 2 sets, and i can't get them on either vehicle.
Just a note so you guys don't buy some like i did and can't use them.

I"ll have some pics tonight when i get home, the diameter of the rear arm on the lower side is to wide, it hits the beadlock ring. Y can barely get the nut on to the threads, the wheel is out so far when it hits.

I have those already, they hit hard on both sides of the beadlock ring, and i don't think you could shim it out far enough.

Uninformed guess on my part. I assumed that since you could buy longer front axle shaft, there would also be longer rear axle shafts.
Oh well.
Oh well.

Don't know. I'm going to see about that, but the rim would have to be out about 1/2 to make it clear, there is that much of a gap when they hit.

should not be a issue with the fg or cnr arms, as they were designed around those, Cable brakes are a bit to large in the 40 rims also, the inside diameter is set by the size of the tires, a bit smaller then the FG rubber.

The other issue is the wheel hub, there are two different heights. the taller one moves the arm further from center or closer to the rim bead.

There are longer shaft you can get. When I had my Harm Basic the drive shafts were much longer. I still have a broken one and I'll see how much longer it is. They are machined better but cost $10 more than FG's
FYI,
Harm's diffs are wider since the rear brake is part of it. This makes the dogbones smaller and the drive shafts longer.
I'll post some pics tonight if it helps.
