  • Was thinking about stretched steelies

    Does anyone have stretched steelies on there festiva. i was thinking about getting mine stretched to get more tread on the groung and fill the gaps in my fenders a little bit. i know its a vw thing but i think a steelie with a lip looks cool. it is just a thought and i was wondering if it sounded like a good idea.

    Stretch width? or height?


    width ...you'd have too, but tires would be impossible to find.

    height... geo metro 13 inch steelies will fit.

      i have seen alot of vws with 13 in steelies stretched to about 6.5 to 7 inches and they have tires. i would do some shopping but i would like the filled fender look and the improved handling would be nice. but yes i would get it streched wider.

        I wonder if you can find a shop to do this? I know they do it alot in Puerto Rico and such, thatd be kinda stealthy with some 13s or so.

          Stockton Wheel will do it. They custom fabbed my M715 wheels. Shipping cost me more than the wheels did!

              I guess I assumed everyone had seen a pic of it. Stockton fabbed a set of wheels for me to replace the stock Budd split rims. They cost me 105.00 ea, but I paid 550.00 to have them shipped.....BY RAILROAD! The centers are 1/4" plate steel.
