That's badass if they're hubcentric.

Are you trying to do a bias ply slick or radial?

Slick. I don't think I'll hook on a radial.

Plenty of powerful trucks run radial if you set truck up correctly

Trucks have been 1.3s on leafs and radials

Yes, in an ideal world, radials are better.

But if track prep isn't right, or you spin with a radial you're fucked.

Ya I'd rather not risk bad prep with a radial. I'll put tube and slicks on these wheels

The axle hub centers the wheels.

Lugcentric the lugs center the wheel. more annoying to install the wheels. usually uses shank lugnuts

Thus why you set the chassis and suspension up for the tire you're running


And the new latest radials from mickey are more favored towards the bracket racer

Today's tire technology there's almost no reason to run a old style slick
