    kmc enduro beadlock, hole in wheel??

    I bought some kmc enduro headlocks for my truck and there is a threaded hole opposite of the valve stem. I am assuming this hole is for the use of the inner tire liner. However, i am not going to be using these for my DD. Does anyone know something that will plug this hole? I was thinking of using a bolt or something but I don't want to make the wheel too far off balance. Or does anyone know the thread pitch or anything? any ideas would help. Thanks. (pic is below)

    It is 1/8" Pipe thread - use a 1/8" male plug.

    why not just install the valve schrader valve that goes there? I installed mine with locktite to seal and make sure it wont come out easily.

    That sounds like a good idea. Where would I get one of those? I know its not just a regular valve stem

    One more point of failure and plugs are cheaper.

    Agreed.....and I'd run one of those aluminum Allen type of plugs, low profile and light....
