            Mateo, if you polished the lip on those and put a couple coats of clear on those they would look sweet!!

                ok so some updates... they ordered the wrong tires and put on 185/65/14 on the rims instead... am i going to have to do any more mods to the car with these tires other than the spacers in the back??

                  185/65-14's are awfully tall for a Festiva. Hope you don't plan to lower it (or already have lowered it).

                      If you're planning to lower it, plan on getting shorter tires.

                        Some folks have successfully used 185/60-14s, but some have had problems.

                        185/65-14s are probably too tall. They may rub, and you'll have pretty slow acceleration, plus your speedo will be way off.

                            185/55/14 is almost exact same size as original tires from what the conversion chart shows that Karl posted on another thread. Or the 195/45/14's that everyone is running.
