would 36-37 lbs per tire and rim set up affect acceleration??

vs 33-34 lbs stock.

Most likely but probably won't notice it

I think you'd notice.

wheel/tire weights are really important, with all the options out there you really shouldn't go heavier unless you're going significantly wider for autox/track purposes.

although if you're going to a significantly larger wheel (17/18) and wider 7" 7.5" then adding weight is going to happen unless you get expensive wheels, so it's part of the territory.

you will notice an extra 4lbs per corner, if not in acceleration then in braking or cornering.
