Spacer/Adapter....PROBLEM! Please help

im not saying my truck will beat yours. Im saying my 72 comet gt with a 410 from a sprint car that runs a 10.34 on the quarter. And either way i wasnt talking about what it could beat i was saying the look is not my style.

 

I dont believe i said anything along the lines of "your truck is slow" to warrant the above post. I simply stated that the look was not my style. He is the one that wanted to start the speed/power battle.

 

k im putting out this flame war. Later guys.

 

see thats what it seems like to me...like the tires arent on properly...but i have check and double check and triple checked and everything is right... very frustrating

 

Did you get the Alignment? Chris Might be right, you Might have a warped rotor.

 

I'd be willing to bet that you have a warped rotor or your wheels are way out of balance.

For the record, I once had a crap shop install a set of new tires on my truck... mounted and balanced. I got on the highway and I thought that I had a flat tire. I couldn't believe how out of balance my tires were. Just because the shop said that they balanced the wheels, doesn't mean they knew what they were doing or had the right equipment.

 

alignment could be the issue, seeing how you said it doesnt do it with stock tires it could be the balancing of the wheels too, also could have been how you torqued them on.

 

Wheel Balance and Alignment.

Are the spacers hubcentric to the hub AND the wheels hubcentric to the spacers?

very critical

 

ok dumb question but what do you mean by hubcentric? I bought the tires off a guy and the guy said they were already balanced out....so im gonna take them to a shop and get them balanced and go from there. thank you all for your help

 

Hub-centric means that the wheel is located on the spindle by the hub not the lugs. There is a snug fit between the center hole on the wheel and the hub. Lug-Centric means that the lugs are used to center the wheel on the hub.

 

oh ok, then the answer is yes they are everything is snug
