i searched but had no luck,at what point is it needed to bead lock or put screws in the rims/slicks? and can you diy the screws? i have v2 drag rims with 24.5 mt and 650whp range if it helps
any info would be great

 

When slick movement on wheel is noticeable. You'll want a screw that does not go all the way through the back of the slick. Just enough to grab the bead.

 

ok...so you drill holes in the rim first? then put the screws in?..how many per rim? both sides on the rim?

 

Templates are available online and yes, you will need to drill a pilot hole first.

 

Mark the tire even with a spoke on the wheel make some passes and see it the line moves away the spoke on the wheel.

That is what I used when I did my rim screws. This will give detailed instructions on how to do it. It worked great.

 

thats great..just what i was looking for...and this is totally legal for all drag racing?

 

yes is it!

 

15 inch piece of round paper fold it 4 times like a pie slice. punch a hole all the way thru in the center. unfold and wala use the paper as a template. ace hardware has screws. i always put in tubes too

 

I recommend using the Mr. Gasket 4318 rim screw kit. I got mine off jegs. It comes with all the screws you will need, with a few extra, and the correct size drill bit. It worked great for me and made things so easy.

 

Mr gasket etc sell the same screws hardware stores sell

 

great..thanks for the info guys

 

Id trust a part made for racing than a part from a hardware store. But I guess as long as its a Grade 8 or higher and isnt too long or short and is thick enough, Id feel okay with it.
Thats why I just recommend the part sold by jegs because it takes all the guess work out of it. Just buy, install and go.
