    Question-

    Can I run 13'' rims with tires on a 88' LX-i Sedan or is it to heavy???

    Oh, my car is lowered also, so will I have to adjust the camber, cuz I have 18''s on the front and want to run the 13's just to get some extra power off the line.

    Or should I try to get 14''s???

    i dunno why youd run 's if you were worried about going fast.
    and then 18's mixed with 13's doesnt sound good to me.
    but you can run 13's without a problem. some models came with 13 inch wheels.
    just cause its a lxi doesnt mean anything special about the wheel size it can accept

    I was under the impression that it did. I thought the 88-89 Lxi brakes were too big for 13s.

    Lx-i brakes are bigger, Lx-i hatchbacks have smaller tires but I think on mine I will have to get 14's.

    true...

    All 86-87's, including the LX-i's can use 13's, and only the 88-89 DX, and LX's can use 13's. The 88-89 LX-i's and '89 SE-i use a larger rotor and caliper. They just won't fit inside the 13" wheel. The smallest you can go is 14".
