I told you 144 spoke 20" la wire, like 1150 or something.

You didnt tell me that they were that cheap.

Well I am off to bed. Job interview tomorrow.

Must be nice.

Goodluck

It is not a crunk *** morning.

 

[Prowler573 5,000+ posts]

Yep.

Just like that without the hydrolics. (sp?)

Looks stupid to me.

Okay - since you have direct knowledge of someone who has done that - when you sit a heavy-*** car like that 'Lac on some tires much smaller than GM ever intended on that Caddy to roll on day-to-day, does it make the car eat up tires much faster than normal?

Like - if he were to buy a set of 13" tires that are rated for like 35K miles....would they be getting bald around 15K or 20K miles assuming he didn't hit his switches often or anything else that would affect tire wear abnormally?

Can't see the pics but I love cars with switches. There is just something about a car doing a standing 3 wheel....
:yum:

Can you see it now?

Nope not at all. THat same set has been on two caddys just like that. No abnormal wear. Hitting 3 wheel wears down the side wall as you can see. (right above the whitewall is another white wall of wear)

They use 13s for a couple reasons
1) You can get higher (bouncing)

2) You can get lower

3) They are cheap. Bouncing 20 - 90" off the ground beats the shit of out rims.

I have smaller wheels on my truck than GM intended....No tire problems yet, but I don't have an adjustable suspension, just a lowered one

Can get a set of 13" rims and tires for $350.

Alrighty then.

Maybe I need to get some hydros on Gossamer then sit it on some 12" Metro rims :laughs:

 

[Prowler573 5,000+ posts]

Well, Hmmph!

Go and ruin my freggin plan then!

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Do 12s really cost more than 13s? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

I guess that makes sense since the need for them wouldn't be as high.

There were tons of cars manufactured with 13" wheels/tires as stock equipment whereas 12s weren't nearly so common...

Props to your dad, then.

1.0L 3cyl FTW! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Great mileage when fuel is $3/gallon ftw fo-rlz, though...

My dad doesn't modify much either.

Well, he added a trailer hitch to his minivan to haul his 4-wheeler back and forth from the house to the deer lease.

A Honda towing another Honda...what's the world coming to //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

Do it, put some 13s on there.

As a long time reader and follower of lowrider magazine and lowrider scene in general (~19yrs), I will say that there isnt a car that hydros hasnt been put on.

I have seen switches on a Neon.
If you can dream it, you can build it.

Geo trackers used to be the hydro vehicle. Small and light. 4 pump set up use to get the whole car off the ground a couple feet.

Yes. My dad used to have a Metro and we were talking about it the other day after I was telling him I am thinking of lowering my truck another inch.

I like lowrider magazine even though it is more directed at this hispanic community.....

I got a picture of a monte carlo that was roofed during a dance. It was teh shit. I never seen a car roll all the way over.
I wonder if GM engineers thought "We better make these pillars extra sturdy, I have a feeling some kids will put switches on them and roll them the fuck over"...

Awwww, you missed my videos fromt he last show. I think 5 trucks and cars flipped over and 3 caught fire. A few years back they started seeing who could flip their vehicle the fastest haha. They can do it in one hop now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif

Ill try to find my vids hold on.
