There are different types of rims.
Safety Rims
Safety rims are mainly used in passenger vehicles. These XM off-road wheel have inwardly extending lugs that keep the tire bead close to the rim but away from the outer rim edge. 2 Tire pressure bumps help a lot and will only work if the tire is high.
Split Rims
Larger vehicles use a rim assembly and use a side ring or lock ring to hold the tire in place. You will see split rims on tractors, forklifts, and other heavy-duty utility vehicles.
Beadlock Rims
Beadlock rims are made for off-roading and physically connect the bead of the tire to the Off-road rim. When tires are under-inflated and under-inflated, they are more likely to come off the rim. Beadlocks solve this problem by creating connections that do not rely on pressure.
