My festiva with 15 inch rim 195/50R15

[FestYboy]

what;s the front lip?

[wirebrain]

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.

what are the Red Rims from ? They look Great!

[festyfreak39]

thanks! they are pepper shakers from an 88 mazda 323.

No pictures (haven't figured out how to load them) but info is:

4.5" x 13" stock Geo Metro rims
155 x 60 x 13 tires (exact dimensional size of 155 x 12 Festiva oem)
Gr 2 shocks
Standard springs & brakes & fenders
Tons of clearance all around

Very simple tire/wheel swap for going from 12" to 13"

^ i have this exact setup on my DD

[Prafeston]

Guessing these would be a no go...

14x7 +8 offset. They are older Celica Supra Wheels.

I think width and offset will make them impossible to fit without major modifications.

i figgured i would update my setup and add some pics

15x6.5
38 offset
195/50/50
APEX front coilovers, the rears are just ebay springs over factory struts...
no spacers
i cut the rear spring pearch and rolled the inner lip of the rear fender a tiny bit to clear the outside of the tire...

front coils.

[Festevil3]

sasquatch, your car has a real nice stance. Were did you get your front coilovers at?

[sasquatch]

i got them from a guy for free.... he said they are from a mk2 or mk3 golf... they fit great, and ride SOOOO much better than the ebay springs on factory struts... well worth the drive to go pick them up lol....

[Prafeston]

sasquatch...did you have to do any modifications to get them to fit?

[gergorian]

I would like to know as well.

aspire swap and vw coilovers on the front, thats it for the front... the rear i have also done the aspire swap but still have the factory struts (festiva i think... not aspire... same thing tho lol...) and ebay springs over top of them... then i cut about 1/2 an inch off the perch to clear the tire and rolled the inside of the fender to clear the outside of the tire... thats it... everything else is stock....

Simple and sweet. For the rear are you using Civic ebay springs or Festy ones?

[sasquatch]

they are from a civic "kit" but allmost all "kits" are the same on ebay.... and IIRC they are 7 inch long...
