1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: Any words of wisdom for dismounting and mounting tires on 10-spokes?
« on: April 03, 2019, 06:23:09 PM »Yes 67 15" 10 spokes. Sorry I missed the 1966 header topic.With the advent of improved equipment for dismounting old tires and mounting new ones, risk of damage to the wheels has lessened but I'm still paranoid when it comes to minimizing any possibility of damage during these operations and during balancing. Anyone with experience in this regard? Any special precautions to take with the 10-spokes? TIA!As long as the machine is set up properly and the operator is careful they are no different than any other alloy wheel. Original 10 spoke tend to be not so true though so depending on the tire machine a little extra clearance maybe required in the setup. No they do not take 100psi to seat or any where close to that. 20 to 35PSI would be normal to seat the tire on the wheel. Note; even being extremely careful sometimes the clear coat can flake off in spots on the outer edge of the wheel, like any other alloy wheel.

15 inch ten spokes are easy. 14 Inch 66 10 spokes are a bitch to mount radials
