275 on a 12in wheel
Anybody running a M/T 275 drag radial on a 12 in wheel non beadlock?been looking for a horror story on someone kicking a bead off during a run but haven't found it yet. I'm a 4240lb turbo car no trans brake and the potential to run low 6's in the 1/8.did find someone say M/T said to use permatex hi tack on beads to help.they say you can't use rim screws on a radial tire.has anybody tried that or seen it tried?

Only issue i am aware of is they are a massive pain to mount and seat the bead. Personally i'd run a 10" rim

275
I mocked up a 12 inch wide weld wheel borrowed from a buddy with a 275 to get the correct backspace.using a air cannon tool the tire went right on.maybe I got lucky.I'm going with Sanders 750 series wheels.

cant sppeak for your power or a 12 inch wheel, but hi tack and the 275s is a plus on the 10'' wheels i run. low 6s on 275s. I was looking at a set of 15x12s that had 275s on them on face book market place they really had a wide tread. looked odd, i was hoping they were 315s and i would have bought them, but he did not have bead locks on them.

15x12 on a 275 non beadlock is my plan when i do my new housing, hopefully i can find a wheel for mockup first, it might convince me to go with a 10. HAHA

What is the widest wheel the tire manufacturer recommends? My Nitto 555's(275/60-15) say 9.5" wide wheel is the max. I put them on 10" Bassett wheels and they look perfect. I wouldn't put them on anything wider or they will look like oethel's pics. To me, that's not a good look.

They got it on there but something tells me that sidewall is not going to act like it supposed to Lol

i'd bet most of these pro 275 cars running 3.90's or quicker are on a 12" or more.
