Track tech?

[matt texass]

What is the rule for front wheels? I know it sounds ghetto and might not look the best but fr500's and even stock wheels weigh so dam much compared to the spare wheel. I felt my buddies spare today at ennis when he took it out and it was stupid light compared to his stock front rims. Notice I said wheel and not the tire. Would say a tire like this http://www.mandhtires.com/store.php?crn=74&rn=368&action=show_detail on the spare up front pass tech? Sorry if its a newb question but at the moment I don't have the money to buy bogarts. The wheel to me seems structurally sound is there something I'm missing. I should have asked before we left the track today.

well apperently it passes in baytown....... and you can see the weight difference as this is car that has 410s shorty headers and CAI

why would it not pass? its a factory rim!

I think that car has more than that ! RE : right front off the ground. But I do think the wheel would pass unless there is a restricted mph on it .

Sometimes you gotta do it ghetto, man.

Nope, mods are what he said. This picture came from a post on svtperformance.com

Also do you have the 2nd one yet ? I have one taking up space in my garage if you are close enough.

Its not the wheel that is the concern, its the spare tire. Mine is marked "Temporary Use Only--Max Speed 50MPH"

Now looking at the tire itself, I can't see why the max speed would be 50 mph.

As ghetto as it is — I'd consider using those wheels if I were at 11.00 and trying to break into 10's LOL.

I wish we didn't have to modify shit to fit Welds/Bogarts etc., on our cars. That and I wish they didn't cost an arm and a leg.

id be interested in the tire I'm at Baylor in Waco

I'm kinda like you, I don't know if I could deal with mine looking like that going down the track, but at the same time I've heard this can drop a couple tenths... might be worth it!

 

[matt texass]

I think the spares with some real "non radial" front runners like I posted in the first post would actually get really light

Hell, if you're going to go ghetto, just paint the rim chrome.

I'll tell you what DKO, you do it and I'll do it too On a side note, this was with the 18's in the front, stock springs, ON MOTOR

Nice, is this a nitrous holeshot?

In regards to the spares... shit... I'm gonna let Matt Texass test them shits and report his results before I start the Ghetto Fab race team.

Nope, that is N/A. I didn't get the Nitrous until about 3 months after this photo was taken.
