Allied Beadlocks Question.

I mounted my Allied beadlock wheels today, and mounted my 33x12.5x15 Procomp X Treme M/T. My question is when I mounted and torqued them down I have a gap between the beadlocking ring and the wheel. The gap is basically the space where the tire is. So I was wondering if it is normal. I looked at a freind of mine that is running maxxis bighorns and he has no gap. We both thought if my tires were thicker than his I would have a gap and he wouldn't. So if anyone is running these tires and wheels please let me know. They don't seem to be leaking and I torqued them according to the directions. Anyhow here is 2 pictures to help explain. Thanks.

Nevermind I figured it out.

I have two sets of the Allied Rock-A-Thon wheels. The set that has Swampers on have no space. The other set has Pro Comps and have about .050 to .070 gap. Never been a problem.

I just looked up some directions though google and it showed some pictures with close-up pictures, and they looked the same as mine. So I figured there is no problem.

There should be a gap. If you over tighten the bolts to the point you have no gap you will bend the lock ring and then you will have problems.
Heres a link taht shows proper installation.
