Default quik question??

Hey guys on my 20" Work Rezax I have a 245/35 and a 275/30... Now here's the question, how easy will it be for me the bent these rims?? I know they're great quality rims but how strong are they and should I just keep on being super careful?? esp with the rear rims because there's even less tire on them.. Thanks for the help guys..

Me personally would be extra careful due to the amount of rubber you're working with in the rear i'd hate to bend those beautiful rims and not to mention the cost and alll the time you had to wait for the rims and to go thru the process of trying to get another rim or getting the rims fixed is to much of a hassle .

SOOOOOOOOO!!!!! JUST KEEP DRIVING CAREFUL, TAKE YOUR TIME .

Mike..no matter how strong the wheels are, if you hit a nasty pothole, the wheel will bend....like tommie said, drive with extra caution and care..adn slow when you drive thru railroad tracks

just be careful parallel parking or going up against a curb. i hate having no protection on the sides at all

but i'm sure you know that all too well with previous 20's and a big-city environment

Oh boy I know it all to well... I have my mirrors aimed downwards so I can see curbs.. It's funny when I let a friend move my car or something, they always ask me why is my side mirrors are pointed to the ground.. But so far so good...
