In Comp Eliminator we ran 24 screws per side of each rim. Besides keeping the tire from spinning on the rim the screws also stiffin the side wall. The screws change the way the sidewall works. We found the more screws the better the tire worked.


Recommendation from Weld Wheels. 1/8th mile times; 7.51 and slower = 6 per side, 5.51 - 6.50 = 12 per side, 4.75 - 5.50 = 16 per side, quicker than 4.75 = DOUBLE BEAD LOCKS - but I'm sure there are a lot of guys here that are smarter than they are.




I think we definitely are wiser than most. We have run 7.89 in the 1/4 weighing 3600 lbs, on DOT tires, and we save weight by using no rim screws at all.
