im confused.... on earth, mass == weight.... so are you looking for heavy tires or lights ? i THINK you want light tires, large surface/contact area ?

i think he means low weight rims that are wide to be able to put wider thicker tires (more tire mass).

I have a few suggestions.
245/45/16 Yokohoma AVS ES100 [requires 7.5-9in wheel] your choice of wheels, its hard finding 16x8 and a good offset.. I would really suggest a set of 245/40/17 [Potenza RE-01R] On 17x8 5Zigen FN01RC The wheels are 16-17 LB a piece and those tires are sticky hell. |
