Are bike RIMS comparable to auto rims re: lateral strength? I'm thinking, probably not.
Plus, that's bike stuff I'd have to go out and buy. The car already has a nice wheel/tire/brake/parking brake/bearing/spindle/hub/strut/spring assy already nicely made up.
I planned on converting a Tempo- 2500 lbs empty weight, and I wanted to keep the back seat so had to figure that weight and balance at capacity as well. It is conceivable to have 500-600 lbs. in the back of the car, and even more if there's any trunk space left to use.
