like topic says , and what kinda air pressure do you recomend for a 24.5x8x13 mt drag et's?? tia

 

drill for screws you mean? Those are generally for tubed slick applications.

 

but i see mostly steel wheels drilled , cus i will put tubes in them , just whated to know if you could drill the rim for the screws ??

 

it looked like the gsc hatch had some done to there lensos..i would ask them..

 

gsc hatch ?? is that some ones screan name ???

 

no i ment the gsc motorsports sfwd hatch, sorry...i beleive they have a few screen names.. (ihaterice) and (GSCmotorsports) are the only ones i can remember..

 

ok cool, maybe they will chime in on this

 

any one else ????

 

have you noticed that your tires slip on the wheel?? thats the only reason you might need bead screws...

 

yes they do , they have moved about 5 inchs,

 

Yes you can use wheel screws on lenzos. You need to get Mr. Gasket wheel screw pack (they come withthe drill bit). I only put 5 in on each side (1 for each spoke). You need to drill them from the insideout. Drill the hole in the shelve (This is where the corner of the bead sits) of the wheel at a angle. If you already had the tires mounted you can see where the bead sits on the inside of the wheel. When youget the wheels mounted have them put 30 psi of air in them while you put the screws in. Make sure you use wheel bearing grease or anti-seize on the screws when you put them in. You can use a impact gun to put them in but turn the gun way down. You don't want to over torque the screws. If you need more info just let me know.

thanks man , do you have a pic of what it should look like ???

 

ive done it to my lensos, and it works fine even tubeless

 

cool can i see some pics ??? that would be great guys , thanks

 

Look for the pics on the NHRA race or get Central Florida Turbo to snap some shots, as they have to wheels now.

ok so you drill both sides of the rim then right ??? i mean the side that faces out and the side that faces the car , and the shelf you talk about ??? is that just the lip around the rim ????

 

Yes both sides a total of 10 screws per wheel. Don't drill on the flat part of the lip. If you look at the wheel with the tire off you will see where the 90 degree angle is, and thats where you need to drill. So when you look at wheel on the outside the hole will be at the point of the lip and not on the flat part. Think of the screw going through the tires bead at a 90 degree angle. This way you get through the tire at the center of the bead and don't risk missing bead when you screw it.

 

I'll see what we can do.

I can't really explain it any better than I already have without showing you.

ok one more thing , for the screws , do i want them to go all the way through the bead on the tire ?? or just like half way ??? and will i need tubes after this ???, thanks guys iam going to drill them out in the next day

 

The screws won't go all the way through the bead. The bead of the tire is thicker than the screw and you also have to think about the thickness of the rim.
You can use tubes, but you don't have to. If you do them right they won't leak.
Just remember to put 30psi of air in them while you put the screws in.

John

 

alright , so i dont want them to go all the way through the bead then ??? or will i have to see how long the screw is after i put it through the rim ?? sorry to keep asking ??'s but i just want to do this right

 

The screws will not go all the way through the bead. The screws have a coarse thread that will dig into the bead.
