It was low budget and they used many locals as extras.Gag is correct the reason for the small tires was for the lowrider aspect.

However, given how the suspensions are modified to achieve the low look, better handling is not always present. In fact, ride quality and handling can actually be reduced if the suspension modifications are not done properly. It’s mainly the low look or low profile that the owner likes.
