What would you need to change as far as setup by going from a 8" tire to a late model tires.

are you referring to, what we call asphalt pull-offs down here ? Hoosier f-40 and Hoosier 2045 ?
if so we run them as per the rules on a 8" rim, some places allow beadlock and some place do not on the r/side. by the hoosier website they recommend a 10" rim, but our rules say 8"...so we play with the offsets and such....we run anywhere from 8 lbs to 15 lbs depending on track conditions. we run 2" offsets on the front and the back 1" offset. watch the r/r tire it will rub the frame when it rolls over if your offsets are off using a stock 7.5 rear. We soak, grind and needle our tires...we run 53% rear due to these slicks....only way to get traction on the southern red clay we got around here.
