Need some help w/ wheel offset.....

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

I bought a set of wheels with slicks from HOTRAM and the rims are 2 piece and fairly deep. The problem is theyre rubbing on the brake bleeder valve. I need a way to change the offset maybe a 1/4" or so. Just enough that the beed lock screws and balance weights dont touch the valve...... Thanks guys

wheel spacers????

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

Where do I find them? and are they ok to use? Safe? I mean Im only needing a 1/4" or so.....

You can get some washers? I am not sure, I remember Nelson - HOTRAM telling me bout the spacing and what he used, PM FATJACK, i think they were his prior? Let us know

1/4 will be no biggie it's when you need 3/8" or more you need bigger and longer studs then youre getting into other issuses but you will be alright and any tire store or online, just google wheel spacers.

yep , all you need is jsut a small 1/4 inch spacer, or jsut grind a touch off the bleeder

 

[FATJACK]

If you can grind the bleeder you would be much better, spacers tend to cause wheel studs to break off when using slicks.

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

I did but the screws holding the wheels to the slicks are rubbing... so are the balancing weights

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

anything else? know where else i can get spacers from??

 

[FATJACK]

I would remove the balancing weights and see what can be done about the screws. Balance should not be that important in the 1/4 mile.

Never heard or tried this before but see if you cant get a a regular screw or "plug" that will fit the hole. Just an idea:dontknow:

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

for the bleeder valve? I thought about that. Im gonna see if itll work becuase I know you can still bleed the brakes that way.... Im gonna have to spend some more time on this.....:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

It should work:dontknow: :dontknow: Kinda hillbilly but hell it'll get you down the track.

Whatever. Same concept just not as fancy as a bleeder valve. I can still bleed the brakes with just a plug in there....
