NSS Tire Shake Problem

[Dads426]

Wheels are 10" wide, but due to the stock width Dana have a custom offset. Been thinking about lighter wheels, but finding the correct offset may be challenging.

BTW, why would not running tubes help? What amount of air pressure do you run? Is 12-14 psi in the ballpark?

I used 16 to 18 psi with 12" wheels.

As the sidewalls start to breakin the tire wads up, then the tube wads up inside causing an imbalance = tire shake

What is the back the custom back spacing now?

Get rid of the tubes and save your money buying natural rubber racing tubes.

Keep adding air till the "hook" slows. You will be surprized how much you end up with.

I believe backspacing is 7" on a 10" rim, but I need to check it.
Interesting thoughts on how the tube is wadding up.
As far as pressure goes, Hoosier suggested either going way up or down to kill some traction at the hit.

Bogart if they are still in business made a custom wheel for a friend that looked like the TRX wheel for an 83 Mustang.
