Hey guys, just curious what you thought about small bolt pattern 8 3/4 axles. At what horsepower would you need to upgrade to bbp or aftermarket axles? Especially for a 4-speed car! Thanks in advance for any replies!
I would say "a bunch." There was a thread somewhere else referring to the 4 bolt Ford stuff....earlier Mustangs and so on. I've forgotten how fast some of them claimed on the 4 bolt pattern.

Probably less HP than this.............
I'd say if you plan on slicks plan on upgrading or at least routine lug replacement. Nothing more sickening than watching a freshly painted lower rear quaterpanel roll up due to lug fatigue.

thanks guys, good info. I'll likely be going with a 7" wide wheel and a drag radial. Sounds like I'll be fine.I doubt you will be able to find a combination of wheels that fit and tires which stick good enough to damage anything for the 5 on 4 pattern anyway
