suspension help

[93SOHC]

wow, my friggin 13's rub, lol. What are the serious consequences of having 1/4 spacers on a hub-centric wheel? Not to thread-jack or anything Btw my set up is stock 1987 mazda 323 steel wheels with stock size tire (185 70 13) I have no issues with the front but I am running 1/4" spacer in the rear(still rubs on bumps!) Stock suspension and brakes, stock festy lugs. Ideas...input?

We run 195/60/14 on our track cars, but it requires spacers, no camber, and cutting/hammering the wheel wells bigger.

You forgot to mention if you were lowered or not.
155/80-13 is the most common replacement size.
I don't know about any consequences though, sorry. (don't worry, there may be some though)

I want 615's on my Festiva. =[

But cutting and BFH-ing the wheel wells doesn't appeal to me. =/

I run 155-80 -13 on both my festivas, one has koenig rims, one with suzuki rims and have no rubbing problems. Both have stock suspensions.

Thanks for all the help. I'll either go with different tires or a lift kit. BTW, I saw a post about compiling a list of interchangable parts. I think that's something we could ALL use. Can we do it?

stock ride height and suspension. I think I just need to go skinnier. I am gonna be gettin white-walls anyway so i'll search in the 165/155 range.

Just looked there are now $85 each..............ouch.

They just inflated the price and advertise them with free shipping.

The price in the end comes out the same.

I just got KYB GR2's, FMS Springs, Akuza 372 14x6 4x114.3 Wheels, Toyo Proxes T1R 195/45/14. Everything should mesh well with the car and there shouldn't be any rubbing issues.
