Shop KMC® KM238 VI BEADLOCK Machined Wheels
The KMC KM238 VI Beadlock Machined wheel is built for serious off-road use. Its deep-concave profile, heritage-inspired six-spoke face, true beadlock construction, and 4,000-pound load rating make it a purpose-built option for trucks and Jeeps that need tire retention at low pressure. Choose the exact size, offset, bolt pattern, and SKU# below before placing an order.
Important: KMC identifies the VI Beadlock as an off-road-use-only wheel. Beadlock wheels may be illegal on public roads in many states and provinces. Confirm your local laws and the wheel’s permitted use before buying. Do not assume this wheel is road legal simply because it physically fits your vehicle.

The listed configurations share a 4,000-pound load rating, but their weight and other dimensions vary. KMC’s chart shows approximate weights from 35.49 pounds for a 17×9 6×135 +1 wheel to 48.18 pounds for a 20×10 8×165.1 -48 version. Confirm the load specification, hub bore, backspacing, and weight for the exact SKU you plan to order.
True Beadlock Construction for Off-Road Use
A true beadlock wheel mechanically clamps the tire bead with a ring and hardware. That differs from a bead-retention feature that uses shaped grooves at the bead seat. The KM238 is explicitly designated a beadlock. KMC describes its beadlock ring as having evacuation channels that help move water and debris away from the ring area.
The VI’s machined finish pairs with a deep dish and six-spoke styling. It is available in 17×9 and 20×10 configurations, with the Machined options listed above. These are substantial wheels, so compare the per-wheel weight and vehicle payload needs before ordering. The negative offsets and wheel widths can also create a more outward position than an original-equipment wheel.
This wheel suits a buyer who specifically needs a beadlock setup for off-road driving—not someone who simply wants a beadlock appearance for a daily driver. Beadlock assembly and maintenance require the correct procedures and hardware. Use a qualified off-road wheel installer and follow the KMC instructions for mounting, ring hardware, and service.
How to Confirm the Right KM238 SKU
Use these steps to verify the configuration before checkout:
1.Check intended use and local rules. Confirm the off-road-only designation is appropriate for where and how you drive.
2.Identify the vehicle. Record year, make, model, trim, axle, brakes, and suspension changes.
3.Match the bolt pattern exactly. For example, 6×135 and 6×139.7 are different patterns and cannot be substituted for one another.
4.Confirm diameter and width. Select a 17×9 or 20×10 wheel that suits your tire and vehicle setup.
5.Review offset and backspacing. The Machined 17-inch options include -38, -12, and +1 mm offsets; the 20-inch fitments shown use -48 mm. Verify inner clearance and fender position.
6.Check the full SKU#. The complete KM238DX part number identifies the Machined configuration. Do not rely on the model name alone.
7.Verify load, hub, and hardware. Check the exact wheel’s load rating, center bore, lug hardware, beadlock ring components, and tire compatibility.
8.Confirm quantity and delivery. Ask whether the listing price is per wheel or per set, verify current stock, and check shipping timing for your address.
A matching bolt pattern is only one part of fitment. Offset, backspacing, brake clearance, hub bore, tire dimensions, lift, and fender clearance all matter. If the vehicle has been modified, have an experienced installer review the complete wheel-and-tire package before you purchase.
Buy KMC KM238 VI Beadlock Machined Wheels from MR WHEELS TIRES
Shop using the exact fitment rather than a broad model search. Buyers commonly search for KMC KM238 VI Beadlock Machined wheels, KM238 Machined 17×9 6×139.7, KM238 17×9 -38 5×127, KM238 17×9 6×135 +1, KM238 20×10 -48 8×165.1, KMC true beadlock wheels for sale, and KMC KM238 price and shipping.
MR WHEELS TIRES helps make a specialty wheel purchase easier to verify: compare the exact SKU, finish, load rating, and delivery estimate before committing. If you are choosing between two offsets or checking whether the Machined SKU matches your vehicle, contact customer support with your year, make, model, modifications, and the part number you are considering.
Price and availability can vary by size, finish, seller, and inventory. Confirm whether the displayed price is for one wheel or a set of four. Check whether the beadlock ring hardware, center cap, lug kit, and TPMS components are included or sold separately. Get the current delivery estimate before arranging an installation appointment.
Warranty, Shipping, and Installation Confidence
KMC publishes a limited warranty covering structural failure under normal and intended use for as long as the original retail purchaser owns the wheel, subject to the warranty terms and installation instructions. Finish coverage and exclusions are separate. The warranty does not override the VI Beadlock’s off-road-only designation or local rules. Review the current written warranty and installation guidance for the specific SKU.
Because beadlock wheels are not ordinary one-piece street wheels, use an installer familiar with beadlock mounting and service. Ask about beadlock ring torque, inspection intervals, replacement hardware, tire compatibility, and the correct maintenance procedure. Keep the original receipt and product documentation. Do not improvise ring hardware or mounting steps.
For fast shipping, start by confirming that the exact KM238 Machined part number is available for your destination. Shipping estimates depend on inventory, warehouse, and carrier. MR WHEELS TIRES customer support can help check listing details and delivery expectations before you order, so you can coordinate the purchase with your off-road build schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions About KMC KM238 VI Beadlock Machined Wheels
Is the KMC KM238 VI a true beadlock wheel? Yes. KMC identifies it as a true beadlock design with a beadlock ring. It is different from a wheel that only has a bead-retention feature or beadlock-style decorative accents.
Can I use the KM238 VI Beadlock on public roads? KMC labels this wheel for off-road use only and warns that such wheels are illegal on public roads in many states and provinces. Check your local regulations before purchase or use.
What sizes are available in the Machined finish? KMC’s chart lists 17×9 and 20×10 sizes. The exact offset and bolt-pattern combinations vary by diameter; see the SKU tables above.
What is the load rating? KMC lists a 4,000-pound load rating for the Machined configurations in its chart. Confirm the exact SKU specification and verify it meets your vehicle’s needs.
Which KM238 Machined SKU fits a 6×139.7 vehicle? The chart includes 17×9 options at -38 mm and -12 mm, plus a 20×10 option at -48 mm. The right one depends on clearance, tire size, and vehicle setup. Confirm fitment rather than choosing only by bolt pattern.
How do I know whether I need -38 mm or -12 mm offset? Offset changes how the wheel sits relative to the hub. It affects suspension clearance and how far the tire extends outward. Use the exact vehicle and tire measurements, and have a qualified installer check clearance.
Are these wheels sold individually or as a set? Listings can show a per-wheel price or a set price. Confirm the quantity and total before checkout, along with what hardware and accessories are included.
How quickly can KM238 wheels ship? Delivery depends on current stock, selected SKU, and destination. Check the live estimate with MR WHEELS TIRES customer support before scheduling installation.
