    Bought a old Dick Lahaie 1981 Top Fuel car and it has 13x16 Cragar Super Tricks on the back with no tires. I intend to restore it to original condition and be period correct and run/race the car at some point. I don't know what they did for tubes/liners back in the day and need some info on what way to go. The rims do not have screws or screw holes in them now.

    Need to get it rolling to take up to Don Garlits shop for him to have a look. Can't get a hold of him till Friday to ask and ready to order some tires. Any Ideas on the set up I need?

    Attached is the car back in the day.

    Ok, I will be a bit more specific, Can you run 17x 34.5 goodyears on a old supertrick 13" wide wheel with a liner/tube and not use beadlocks or rim screws?
    I see wheels made for liners and don't know if the old supertricks will be ok with a liner if I add the second valve stem? Yes or no. Thanks!
