I personally drill 1/16" holes in my rims before glueing to allow for this, but maybe I am missing something that the previous owner liked better. Anyway, the foams seemed to make their way out of these small holes and now that they are out, the tire actually "looks" normal again. So, pics really wouldnt look different than anything normal. I have bought new wheels since, but no on road style, so until I get a wheel that can withstand 70+ mph, I will most likely keep my 8ight on 4s.

maybe I'll pick up some of THESE or THESE and give it another go!

Hoov,

We have taken the foams over 90 and they hold up! We will see their max when I get my 10S 8T back up!!
