Most tire shops will NOT put them in for you but I would say for any tire that goes offroad that it is good idea. And I don't figure it would do anything to the wheels, if you want you can always bedline or under coat the inside (like inside of the tire)

No problems for aluminum rims.

I wouldn't beadline anything because you are kinda defeating the purpose of balancing by adding more uneven weight.

Why are you putting antifreeze in your tire?

To keep them from getting to hot... or up here in Maine maybe freezing in a clump when it's parked.

Yes ^ the air that you put into your tires has moisture in it so the bb's would freeze together

And a layer of paint that is even all of the way around won't effect anything

I wouldn't worry about them freezing in a clump, all the tires I've taken apart and I've never seen moisture in them. But I'm not saying don't do it.

Paint might be able to flow evenly but not bedliner.
