    I am running 25 psi , I know that I should not run it with the drag wheels, on the street but its a lot of work changing over to my 18''. As it is still my runner round car, if I need to go to the shops . I will change back after the summer time .
  11. mark newman
    I would think 1.8 bar /1.9 bar

    7.5 back space works great ,but you will have to roll the arch, an 8'' back space would also be good , and I think that you would get away with out rolling the arch , when using a 295 tyre. I have been running drag wheels for about 4 trips out and about , and I do not like the way the car feels, good on a straight road . but shit on the bends. I find that the drag wheels just slows me down.

    I took the edge of the new studes with a file, put them in the freezer over night. oil on the studs , and pulled them in with a long wheel nut, with a 4 ft bar . you have to lock the hub, did mine with the hole that I drilled into the back of the brake assembley and jaming a bar form the hub into the new hole.
  22. mark newman
    No probs, in the end each one took about 10 min
  23. mark newman
    I had a real hard job today fitting the longer wheel studs, but when I worked it out , what to use, not to bad in the end.
  24. mark newman
    Me to, I hope I get it finished 2.5 weeks left, befor the start.
  25. mark newman
    Couple of updates, It's turning into a drag car now . It's now got a FIA approved welded in cage along with 15" Weld drag lites wrapped in Mickey Thompson 295/55/15 ET Streets. Had to install some longer studs for the wheels to fit.
