[QUOTE="Jerry Gerner 2, post: 993459, member: 67360"] I have 15x8 Cragar soft 8's with 4" backspacing. You can't put the stick on weights on the inside of the wheels, they won't clear the calipers. I used led bead weights on the inside bead, most places use steel weights now but you need more and they don't stay on as good because they don't conform to the bead curve as well as the old led weights. You're pretty much following my Trac's build step by step, lol. Except I had 1.5" spacers all around. As for b.s. you wanna stay around 3.75-4" if you go 8-10" wide, 8's are better because the tire will stay on the bead tighter, especially when you airdown. I went to www.treaddepot.com and they had the lowest prices anywhere for the DuraTrac's, then I went to a GoodYear dealer, told them the price I found and they beat it by $13 a tire. $159 to 146, oh yeah. :haveabeer: [/QUOTE]
