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
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.

Re: rim and tire question
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.

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
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.
