Hi Nowwhat: 1.8 that is good, for new slicks. Did you put screws in the wheels.

Got the screws on one side of the wheel only....and marked the non screwed side....no movement...went down to 13 psi cold.....

the slicks feel very stable at speed and can't wait for a 1.6...

Yes you are right on the 1.6, but screws on one side you need to watch that. You do not want the slicks to twist on one side, so keep a eye on that. When is the next test and tune, that you are going to be at Nowwhat.

Mike please get screws on both sides of wheel ASAP. Very dangerous.

 

[De-HemiFyd]

what kinda wheels did you mount them on? I am very interested in purchasing a set for my truck! any contacts/links would be appreciated....thanx

 

[Nowwhat]

CCW wheels....john purner....custom for the trucks....Vprpwr, Blake and I all have the same.....

Jack....screws won't fit on the back side..... ....my movement was 1/4 inch without screws.....maybe I can counter sink a couple but don't know if the rim is thick enough...

 

[Blakewilder]

Help me out bro....whats the deal with the screws?

 

[poppopmadman]

The slicks will stick to the track and spin on the rim causing a blow out or the tires even go unbalanced/twisted when you go down the track. Screws on both sides are the best for no rim and tire separation. Most do not use tubes either!

 

[Blakewilder]

what r u screwing...the tire??? that doesnt sound too good.

Its cool Blake, think of it as a bicycle tire, it has an inner-tube inside which holds the air, not the tire. So your just screwing the tire to the wheel

[Blakewilder]

My slicks (cheaters) dont have tubes....So when I order the ones like yours I have to order tubes too right. Can u PM that guys number again please, I forgot to handle that in all of the madness before vacation.

 

[BigBlackQC]

Why won't the screws fit on the back side of the wheel??? clearance with the springs?

 

[Nowwhat]

I'm not running tubes............

 

[BigBlackQC]

:idea: Yea, I'm a retard..... so anyways....

 

[Nowwhat]

clearance of the caliper.....

 

[Texas Yellow Fever]

clearance of the caliper.....

Ok, call me stupid, but that makes no sense...:dontknow: :dontknow:

 

[RedSrt007]

he is using 16x12 wheels, so the wheels are fairly wide (wide enough to go over the caliper and bleeder slightly) with the backspacing. So I'm guessing where the screwed need to go on the wheel-bead area, it would rub on the caliper somewhere
