Default Questions On Screwing Slicks

Can slicks can be screwed one side only?
If so, how many?
If both sides must be screwed, how many are recommended per side?

Specs on the car are as follows:
C6 Z06
Approximately 500 RWHP
M&H 26x12x16 Slicks
60's from mid 1.3x to low 1.4x range

TIA

500 rwhp... how much torque? Have you had an issue w/the wheels spinning inside the tires?

Mid 1.3's will spin a tire on a rim. Pretty sure it's 8 per side. U can but the kit from summit/Jegs. Comes with template and all the screws. Both sides must be screwed.
I always used a little clear silicone dabbed in the holes before running in the screws.
U said 16" rims. Whats the lip look like on the rim u r using? Got enough meat/surface area for screws?
