People are putting huge heavy 24"&26" rims on old cars with old 350/400 engines. Isn't that to much strain?

Question:
Is seems as if you would strain the engine by putting such a heavy load on the car. Solid 24" chrome rims weigh a TON! I cant even imagine how much 26" weigh!! What can you do to overcome this? Will 3:73 or 4:11 Posi rear end help?

to each there own right, just be carefull as a bigger rim= smaller tire which means there is less sidewall to give when ya hit a pothole. the smaller sidewall will not give as much and here in michigan with our great roads there are alot of bent rims so ask yourself if you can afford repairing your rims. as to the power issue, the car will hardly notice the added weight if the tire wheel combo is close to the old tire wheels circumference but will handle alot different

I have a Buick LeSabre and it is 2002. When I turn the fan on it seems to be super loud, is this normal?

simple answer---->>> don't put rims that big on your car it looks gay and on top of that it doesn't matter what you do it's still going to strain the car a **** load and probably hurt your acceleration as well as gas milelage so just don't put them on the car

Which car is more of a girl car? A '97 White Malibu or a '93 Red Jeep Wrangler?

rims that size aren't made of solid chrome
they are most often made of aluminum alloy and DIPPED in chrome
of course a posi rear end would help, but keep in mind when people put these rims on cars, they aren't doing so to help the gas mileage or speed or any performance for that matter - it all for looks
