I have always seen them inside and outside. And every drag race beadlock is both sides.
Enemy,IMO you will regret using screws in just the one side.In the early days we used screws on just the outside.A traction/HP grew it would let the tire twist torsionally on the wheel. Noit good since the next thing that would happen is the bead was ripped to shreds. I hope you're taking a spare set of paddles if we have wet sand. Dragrace beadlocks are double for that same reason. Double beadlocks are a real SOB to mount also.

I think the Aussies have the best idea on this! Stealth beadlocks. Any idea what they cost? The USA link on their site wouldn't work for me.
I find it a bit amusing that in all this talk about how much psi to run that no one ,not even engineer, has said a thing about the importance tire size and the buggy weight in determining what is right.
You could go with the "Sik-a-flex beadlock" also known as the "hillbilly beadlock":Run a bead of Sikaflex (polyurethane sealant) around the bead, after mounting but before inflation.It will take "some effort" to replace the tyres though I have it on excellent authority these work well off-road
