Silicone sealant. I've head horror stories of wheels losing air due to user error though. Just make sure you let it cure long long 24 hrs prior to mounting tire.

As to type, I have no clue, haha.

Man you telling me but I think ill torque @ 25 pounds .. And good thing I didn't clean polish lip so that way I can see where they were originally so I can mount them were they go I'm taking my sweet time mounting the face. If I have to built something to make it easier and weld something up I will. I should get my wheels tomo

Looks good.

hahah we actually had a small discussion about that before and i think we settled that we were set at the same height, so true ride height really depended on the camber we were running. i think i was running more camber which put me a tiny bit lower than tilt

Haha, ride height battles mean nothing...








...but I think we have the comparable camber now though
