I mounted a set of M/T 10.5w with no tube and blued to the bead.At the track last week they moved over an inch.Thought when glued they move up to a 1/2 inch and stop Rims not screwed..........

A lot of guys don't go about this right. The tires when new have a "mold compound" on them to help release when the are built. I take a day and apply my Dawn dish soap to the entire inside of the slicks and let dry (2 coats). I then clean the slick sealing lip carefully with lacquer thinner and gently sand it with red scuff pads and clean again with thinner. I carefully clean the wheel lip too. I use brush on High tac and "no soap when mounting. This process works GREAT for me.

I had a set of Hoosiers do that to me once with tubes installed. I added 8 rim screws per side. All better. So how'd you do Al? Any 8 second time slips? Close,but the weatherman said not today.The explosion made for an interesting day

Screw em! Drag cars need it--If it is a drag car with slicks forget about your pretty wheels and drill them correctly screw them and forget it MT website had great tech how to on doing job right --in low powered car ( like anything except turbo big NOS monsters ) 8 screws are fine but more power equals more screws like MT says to prevent tire shake on monster HP stuff Slow motion videos have shown that more screws are better for BIG HP stuff what we usually run 8 per side is plenty and has worked for me for decades Drill screw hole on fat side--use a screw to "tap" the holes first--keep a fresh new screw during this process and it will keep from breaking one off --also that is where a tad larger than spec'd on the hole size really works to your advantage--screw does not have to be so darn tight in wheel at all
