 |
|
I have researched the threads, but still have some questions. Most of ehat I've read doesn't involve a Super. I have a 75 Super Conv , lowered 1.5", with drums. I would like to run some 15"x6 Fuch replicas. I am planning to have the drums re-drilled, and hoping that that is all that is needed.
Questons:- what studs do I want for the drums after the redrill??
- what is a backing plate, and do I need a new one?
-does anyone think I'll run into any problems??
ANY suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks. |

If you choose to redrill your current drums then I would recommend the press in studs because 4 lug drums are reinforced in the 4 spots where the stock lugs are at only. If you choose blank drums, you can run screw in studs or press in.
You will still be able to use your stock backing plates.. Hope this helps.
