Hey all,
I have a set of slicks I mounted and have heard that it is reccomended to srew the tire thru the rim. Has anyone had slicks on wheels that weren't screwd on? I dread drilling 50 holes in these wheels. Any comments?

Depends on power and drip that you can make. If you have a mech. LSD and and gobbs of power then it might be worthwhile. If you have a open diff then I'd leave it alone until you get a Quaife or built clutch type diff. Before I messed with all that I'd make some changes to help with wheel hop.

You could always buy one of those do-it-yourself beadlock kits. I read about em in a 4x4 magazine, and I remember it being cheap but still looking good. I can take a look and try to find more info on it.
