skinnies worth it?
skinnies worth it? my tires on my thirdgen are about shot. thinking about changing it all up. is it worth it to put skinnies in the front. also which wheels do i run backspace wise in the front?
The stock 16's with tires are around 45 lbs each wheel.. 17's with tires are around 50-55 lbs each. Sooo how are you guys dropping 80-100 lbs total by going to skinnies? those skinnies would have to be lighter than air! lol.

Prostar 15x3.5 with tires ~10lbs a piece x 2 = ~20 lbs
100-110 - 20 = 80-90 lbs.
I don't know exactly what the front skinnies weigh but I can EASILY pick one up with one hand and curl it.
I run 15x3.5 Prostars with a 1.75" backspacing. Any other size of backspacing will not work.

10 lbs is the weight of just a single prostar rim all by itself. My buddy has Prostars 15x3.5's they weigh 10 lbs each with no tire. With 26" Moroso DS2 on there they weigh 22 lbs each. While they are light I don't see any way a Prostar or any drag wheel with a tire mounted come in at 10 lbs a piece simply because all the drag tires out there are around 10 lbs to begin with. I think your scale is wayyyy off if its saying they weight 10 lbs a piece.
