You're Staged. Your engine's rpm climbs. The Christmas Tree begins to flash. In the wink of an eye your tires plant hard. It's taken months of fine-tuning your Chevy's suspension for optimum bite. But have you checked everything? Sure, your slicks are soft and sticky after a burnout, but are they twisting on the rims? With the force applied to tires designed to enhance dragstrip performance, the tire can often rotate from its original position.
The solution to keeping them in the same location they were in when they came off the tire-mounter is to pin them to the rim. With a few hour's time, a Moroso wheel-rim screw kit, and some common tools, you can ensure that your slicks will stay where you put them. To show how easy this is, we've outlined the basic steps of drilling your rims and included a cool tip to make sure the hole placement is symmetrical. Here's how it's done.
