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.-Greg

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.93 Festiva L White B6T

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.Have owned 9 so far
