Wheel screws or No screws.
I currently don't have screws in my wheels and have noticed that they have moved a little bit. What do you guys use instead of screws? I just hate to start putting holes in my wheels if I don't have to. Thanks
|
your going to have too it will just keep spinning on the wheel had to do it myself broke my heart to do it lol
|
Or buy some bead lock wheels.
|
I glued mine...
|
High tack or my tire guy still swears by hairspray
|
You can always do what I did: buy used wheels that are already tapped for screws.;)

Are radial slicks an option? I run mine at 17-22 PSI, which counteracts slipping.
|
What brand of wheel? Weld offers bead seat knurling, may help with your situation.
|
Not sure what tires we are talking about but just a fyi you can NOT screw radials
|
I use Permatex Aviation sealer. Stays put and does not move.
|
I just let them move, but I rotate them every race. They settle in to where they don't move that much. Just make sure the tires are tubeless.
|
I am running Hoosier radial slicks hoo 18211. I run them at 20 psi.
|
If you are just having a little movement, I would mark them and keep an eye on the actual amount and rotate as mentioned. I might also be inclined to try some of the chemical remedies before drilling the wheels. We ran screws in the Grocery Getter wheels and it's a PIA. The screws eventually work loose, they eventually strip out in the wheel. They also lose a tiny amount of air around some of the screw holes. The wheels are hard to clean with tire/rubber dirt getting in and round all the screws. We had to eventually use 16 screws on each wheel face, 32 total because just 8 caused the tires to wrinkle so badly, they caused tire shake. The 16 screws did help this allot. We should have gone to double bead locks, a much better set-up but adds lots of rotating weight. I would tend to live with minor movement.

Mike is this what you used permatex 80019?
|
I've used Permatex Hi-tac brush on sealant (red stuff) and had great success with that on Bias slicks and MT street radials. Gone 1.32 60's that way on the bias.

Brush a small amount on the bead of the tire. Any excess wipe off with brake cleaner while still fresh after assembled and aired up. I run the MT Pro Bracket Radial with 18-20 PSI and this has worked well. |
I used dish soap when my radials were mounted, they moved a couple of inches and stopped moving now. 1.26 best 60 ft
|
On my steel steels, I just used black bead sealer. But I only 60 1.43

Mike Thanks for the info on the sealer. I got some yesterday from a friend.
