wheel/tire/suspension fitment thread

[JPT]

nope they wont fit. you can do a capri hub swap (4x100) and then they will go on, but depending which wheels they are, you might also need spacers.

A Capri swap would give you the stock bolt pattern (4x114.3). An Aspire swap gives you the 4x100 bolt pattern.

yup. my bad, thats what i meant. capri swap would be very difficult as well lol, where the aspire it bolt on.

that green festiva with the fender flares is absolutley bad @$$, where did you get those flares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is mine, cant remember the sizes of the tires, fitment is nothing to boast about though. Silver wheels are from a mitsu mirage, and the red wheels are my current setup.

[Ghost]

thankyou. i had them shipped from the uk.

Nice! believe me, i'd still want it. I'm debating on just spray painting my festiva or using my dad's hvlp gun and either painting it all black, or the top half black, and the bottom lime green?

Anyways, I didnt mean to thread jack, so I'll post a picture of my festy



13" geo rims with 165/?? tires with aspire springs cut a couple coils, sits too high for my liking so i'm gonna cut the stock sprigs and put them in

Great thread guy's, i wanted to buy 185/50/14's and would like to know what's the offset i should get. I also would like to know the weight of the wheel (rim and tire) you would recommend because i don't want it too heavy. i currently have 185/60/13 not sure of the offset and weight. Also is there a way to know the amount of traction loss/gains with these rim sizes?

[Safety Guy]

Al, the actual figure you should be most concerned with is the diameter of the tire. Tirerack.com lists the diameters of the tires they sell, so go there to see them for your convenience.

Also, if you find any 185/50-14s, let us know where to get them.

closest thing you'll find in a 185 is 185/55/14 Karl

now with 195/50r15, 10mm spacers in the rear, lowered more

[sasquatch]

that looks sooooo cool, i wish mine was that low one day...

[FestYboy]

the rear toe is way out of spec because of the lowering, and the front toe was initially too far toed OUT to allow the Hunter machine to accept the starting measurements (total toe out was over 3.5*, maximum initial measured toe can't be more than 2*).

ghost i love your car.
