Running Tubes with a 7.50 Backspace?? Trying to decide what is the best option here.. Any input would be appreciated..
I have an F-Body Camaro and am going to try slicks this year. I would like to run the Weld RT-S S71's, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wld-71mp-510b75a, or the Billet Specialties Street Lites, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bs...175n/overview/.
I currently run an MT Radial with Bogarts and single beadlock. Don't want to run a single beadlock with a slick but would like to try slicks so need extra rims. I would like to run tubes and wheel screws but not sure if I can run tubes with where the valve stem hole is located on these wheels being they have a 7.50" backspace. Any thoughts? I would love to just drill up the stem hole to 5/8 and have the tube work ok but the angle/location looks wrong. Worried about ripping the tube/stem..
Car is a little over 3100 lbs, has an M&M SB2.2 at 826hp, with a 6200 stall and glide. 4.10 gear. Looking at trying a 28x10 slick.
Thanks for the input/suggestions..
