Can I put an 18x8.5x8 on an 8x8 wheel?????
I want to run the Duro DI 5009 (street tread looking) tires on some 8x8 wheels. Will this work? I know typically it would go on an 8x7 wheel but I can get some 8x8's pretty cheap.
Will this just give the tire a "square" profile? Or is the tire actually going to be molded so the lip/bead is in from the outside wall of the tire (meaning the distance from bead to bead is going to be like 7 inches instead of the tread width of 8.5) meaning anything more than a 7 inch wheel width will make the tread look "puckered" or "U" shaped? I def need all of the contact patch I can get! Thanks in advance! Mike |

Do you think the profile of the tread will be flat/square? Or will it be slightly concave (center of the tread a bit lower than the edges of the tread by the sidewall)?
I am going to take this to the 1/8 mile track so need all the meat on the ground I can get! Thanks for the quick reply :) |
