Skinnies coming for the track!

[Hemi31]

Ordered a couple of 17x4 SXT spare tire wheels for the track......couple those to a 1.3" wheel spacer and mount and M&H front runner tire and I will be ready to shave more time off my et's.
It's looking to drop 70#'s of unsprung weight off the front + reduce rolling resistance.
I am expecting at least a tenth but hoping for two.......now if next season would just get here already!

Freaking Sweet :grin:

Where's the 1.3" spacer come from? Do you need longer studs?

Links man - links!!!

 

[Hemi31]

Jmatt I will get you links when I get home from work.

 

[Ozzie]

Do you intend to, or have you already loosened the sway bar at the track, or performed any other hijinks on the front end? Just curious.

 

[HalV48]

I look forward to how that works out Erik.

No other hijinks yet Ozzie........still working on getting the most out of the basics.....I know I can get 1.5's out of the current setup......just need a test and tune day with some track prep.

Ron that dude that ran the dry shot on the Superbee was running a full sxt wheel with a 2" spacer.........the 4" wide wheel should fit with plenty of room on the 1.3" spacer.

Shit, that's right. I completely had old timers syndrom. hahaha

Where to get the spacers and which studs are you going to use?

You use the factory studs and they send lugs.The only thing you need to do is specify the upgrade from 12mm x 1.5 lugs to 14mm x 1.5 lugs so they match the factory lugs.
