Do you get full lug nut thread engagement?

I used to stock the VW tires referenced (IIRC 165/80/15 or something). For every pair I put on a VW I sold like 10 to drag racers.

Edit: From Tire Rack
Kuhmo Power Star 758
165/80R15
Speed Rating “T” = 118mph (190kph) 87T  SL
Load Index 87 = 1201lbs (545kg) per tire
Rim Width Range 4-5.5"

Get your car corner weighed at JS Performance and see if you surpass the 1201 lbs

Personally, I would not use them on the street, but I probably would on the track unless I was really flying past that 118 speed rating.
