  • can't hook up! need to find wheels

    Ok here it is, I have 13x5.5 inch wheels on The festiva right now. Can't hook up at all. I want to get new rims but don't know what size yet. I am going to up grade suspension and use the 35mm lowering springs. also am thinking of buying the FMS body kit. I was looking at the Konigs with some good rubber but don't know? what size rims can i fit and where to get them. Thanks

      After your Aspire brake and suspension upgrade, your bolt pattern will be 4 X 100mm. Offsets should be between about 38 and 45 mm positive. You probably shouldn't go over a 6.5 inch wide wheel unless you want to solve clearance issues. Also, using an Aspire rear strut will give you another 3/4" of inner tire clearance.

      Much of the above can change depending on the stuff you do and use.

      Mounting 175/60s on 5.5" wide Konigs should be fine.

      A set of Konig Theories will handle both Aspire and Festiva bolt patterns, so you can buy them now and then use them after your suspension swap.
