rim and tire question
 

ok so first off, we need a suspension forum. but anyways

Today i got a killer deal on a full set of lensos. $150 for all 4. so i scooped those bitches up.

My only question now is can I use these for dialy driving? I know their super lightweight at only 9 pounds each, so i wasnt sure if they could stand up to daily use on streets.

If this is possible w/o ------- the rims up, what size tire would I have to use for a 7.5 inch wide rim??

Re: rim and tire question
 

Should be fine.Are they 13"?A 205 should work fine on a 7.5

Re: rim and tire question
 

yea the lensos are 13's i know itll look goofy, but i think they look hot, and im a fan of small rims for some reason. ive never went higher than 15's. I just didnt know if them being so lightweight would make them more suspectable to damage on teh streets.

Go back to Honda-Tech

Only problem I could imagine is rubbing. 150 for all 4 is a banging deal. Usually you just see people run them just on the front but never on all 4 corners. I think it'll have like a bulldog stance. Dude must of been really desperate for money or something. Post some pics of those bad boys. I've seen a miata with Lensos on all 4 corners and that thing looked mean as hell. >:D Fender flares FTW!

Re: rim and tire question
 

yeah iknow how the stance will be. ill need a drop for them lol.

btw asswipe, ive NEVER been on h-t. so suckoff.

but yea i was stoked on teh deal. He wanted 150 for the lensos, and 300 for some swirlies with tires lol. i was like yea ill take those lensos. Honestly i dont think he knew what they were, just figured they were 13's so theysucked.

So i guess now ill be looking for a nice set of 13in tires for these bad boys. like what a 205 50?

Re: rim and tire question
 

Wow I'm so hurt. :'(

Better stay away from pot holes

Re: rim and tire question
 

i do that already.

how about, i looked for tires on teh net, but so far havent really found ---- in a 205 50 series..

Re: rim and tire question
 

I was having the same issue when checking out tires for my stock 13" rims. Ended up just moving up to 15"s. Think of getting tires in the future also. If you have to order them online because they aren't available locally you might want to grab a few spares.

Re: rim and tire question
 

Summitimo makes a 205/60/13 and Cooper males one as well.Other then that its race tires/autocross tires

Re: rim and tire question
 

tirerack.com

i use that just to get an idea of brands/reviews and what sizes are out there because i dnt no ---- for tires.

anyways even call them. the last dood i talked to helpd me figure out how tall of a tire to get because of the weight of my car. they have all that specs and whip it out fast..

Re: rim and tire question
 

about to check tire rack now, i browsed through them last night real fast. I saw the cooper tires, but the ones i saw looked like slicks almost.

Re: rim and tire question
 

discounttiresdirect has good prices on tires, but haven't compared them to tirerack to know if they're cheaper. Tirerack does make it easy to select some rims/tires though.

Re: rim and tire question
 

im still real iffy on using these daily. I just got them, and man their ------- light as ----. i picked up all 4 like it was nothing.

Re: rim and tire question
 

run em!! ill get 2 from ya..then youll still have 2..as long as we all go to the strip at one time..del sol, hatch, and crx... :y

Re: rim and tire question
 

Believe it or not if you're lowered already its gonna get really bad with the 13s... My exhaust manifold was so close to the ground with 13 inch rims/tires :( I run 14s on the street cause I also like smaller rims, but at autox it has more sidewall flex than I'd like. Might move to 15s eventually

Re: rim and tire question
 

i prolly will runem lol. chris just left like 20 minutes ago with the hatch. Ive been sitting in the del sol playing around ever since.

So if we do all go at once, ill bring my hatch and the del sol. All i need to finish the turbo hatch is oil lines and a tial 38mm wastegate. I showed chris a bunch of my turbo ----.

Re: rim and tire question
 

Stretch these fuckers on them. I loved them on my VX rims I had. New their outrageous for even a 13" tire. I picked up it's brother the A032 from a guy for 100 for a whole set but in 16's for the Z.

Re: rim and tire question
 

175s wont stretch it i dont think, that tire would be a totalbitch to get on. even then im wondering how the tire would be after that? wouldnt it ---- with the dimensions?

Re: rim and tire question
 

Who the ---- cares. A048's are wicked ass tires. >:D You'll have that VW stretch out tired ------- look that they like to roll on.

Re: rim and tire question
 

lol.

Re: rim and tire question
 

man im gonna miss that del sol...lol..

Re: rim and tire question
 

i wont miss the hatch lol, since im still driving one... I thought about just throwing any d series in there to get it running, just to drive it. Gotta find a cf hood for it now and some new fenders. it needs a drop and some 16s too.

Re: rim and tire question
 

its got dropzone springs under it..or did he take em out? hell that was a xmas present..haha..i'd love a hatch..i woulda rode down there but i was pulling the b16 outta my crx and doin friggin homework...plus my dad was supposed to stop by with some much needed parts for the rex..

Re: rim and tire question
 

dont know if he left those or not?? ill have to go check. I know where u can get a clean stock si for 3000, nice rims, and nice exhuast and intake. no cheap ----. He may take less? otherwise i can prolly find u one. i come across alot of stuff like that, but never cheap motors or swaps.

Re: rim and tire question
 

i can provide assistance in motors/swaps..I cant afford another car right now, i just got rid of a few i had...lol..down to 5 cars now i think..not including my bike..i gotta pay off a few things first

Re: rim and tire question
 

the only swap i would need help with would be h22. but the main problem i have is actually finding one for cheap, so my brokeass can afford lol.

Re: rim and tire question
 

o and yea the drop zones r still there.

Re: rim and tire question
 

cool..i just put a h22 in my wifes 94 accord at chris's not too long ago..i think i got it for right at 1000 shipped if i remember right, ill look back and see, so the springs are in there-they ride and handle great imo.

Re: rim and tire question
 

1000 for motor and tranny? if u can do that ill put a h22 in teh sol. build up an all motor beast lol.
