yeah - that's pretty heavy, not as heavy as some, but a lot more than i'd want on there, especially if i were to plan to drive the car hard. that's a lot of stress on the components not designed for it

What weight should I be aiming for?

i would keep it under 24lbs, but it depends on the tire too. they can vary as much as 4lbs each



basically, i would keep the combination down below 54lbs per corner. i haven't done any real math, but having felt what heavier stuff is like, it definitely has an effect on the suspension components



if the 10" wide wheel is really 26lbs, and you chose a light enough tire, it could still work, but it would be right at the edge.
