The drawing is not representative of what really happens when you use the inside bead. The side wal will rest firmly on the outer edge of the rim and you can run a second bead of CA all around to seal that joint which will make your side wall firm and will make the truck handle very well and very stable.
The only downside of this tire/rim combination is mounting them. Those tires have to be stretched to fit on that inside bead and your fingers will hurt once your done.
I loved this set up so much that I ran these Badlands exclusively while bashing until there were no more treads on them.

Can this mounting method work with Proline VELOCITY dish wheels?
I love Badlands, but i just hate that the side walls offer no real support.
