Rim Choices

[FB71]

I am from a small town called Endicott, New York. It is about 10 minutes from the PA./NY. border along rt. 81.

Sorry bout not doing a search first..... ...must have had a "Senior Moment". In the future, I will try to remember to Search FIRST and Ask Questions later.

And Lastly, Thanks for the warm welcome.:p

Welcome Zivon!!! Don't let these guys put you off... They like to have little "lover's spats" now and then!! :p

i wonder if it would benifit new members to have a "quick guide" page to view before entering the main sight for, say, the first 5 visits to avoid situations like the above? besides, if it helps cut down on bandwith (and cost to the site), i think it'd be worth a try...

Happens all the time to me but I don't post telling them a new comer to stop being an idiot an do a search! Or be rude to them. To you it might be a little hazing but to a newbie it might be a sign that people here aren't very nice and maybe this isn't a friendly site. My problem is with all the bandwagon jumpers. Dont post saying "Monsoon is gona get you" or "Cant wait to see the hazing you get" because most of these people did the same thing.

Just point them in the right direction and all is good. No childish games and everyone is happy!!!!!!!!

I guess you didn't see Monsoons post where he commented about searching and then welcomed to the site and offered areas to look in for the info.

Or the part where (resuwrecked) talked about how when someone asks the same questions....it just adds to all the CLUTTER you get when you do search. The only thing people were talking about was the gif that Monsoon may use when he does post.....there is no one getting hazed.

... The only thing people were talking about was the gif that Monsoon may use when he does post.....there is no one getting hazed.

Not really. It's the gif and the demeanor. You can choose not to see it but it's there. It puts new people off. That's whats getting old to me.

But Monsoon is also right, we can choose to block anyone if we don't want to read what she/he wants to write.

With few exceptions, no one is new to forums or how theyre structured. EVERY FORUM uses vBulletin and the layout is pretty much identical with few exceptions and usually then its only color changes.
So that being said everyone should know where the Search button is, because its in the same place on every forum. Theres only 1 site Ive been to that uses vBulletin and it doesnt have a Search function PERIOD.
It doesnt take that long to do 1 but you have to be willing to do some reading to find the answers.
And if youve ever been to any website such as [H]ard|OCP.com Im a kitten compared to some there.

PS Im just waiting to slip up and post something that been posted before and then getting my *** slammed BIGTIME by you guys!

PPS Its all meant in fun guys. If you take it any other way then Im sorry.

What 13 inch rims work for the Festy? Rim tire combo?

14 inch? Rim/ Tire combo?


I heard the 13 in rim from a Geo can use a 175/60/13 tire with no issues at all.

I have the sport springs installed from FMS.

What is a good rim/tire combo? I want to keep the speedo accurate and I am looking at 13's 14's and 15's.

Any help is much apprieciated.

Thanks in advanced,

~Z23~

Aaaaaaaand to help get this back on track: :mrgreen:

Zivon, I'm currently running the Geo Metro rims on my car with 175/70/13's and there is a tiny amount of rubbing (only on hard corners) so I'd say the 175/60/13's would work just fine.

As far as the speedometer goes; I checked mine with GPS and it's only off by about 1mph.

Hope this helps.

PS: Here's a crappy pic of my car with the Metro rims installed but it'll give you an idea of what they look like.

Ha ha, wonder how many other guys (besides me) have that special gif all ready and waiting for that day?:tongue3:

And I don't know how everyone else takes them, but I take them as good hearted ribbing. Nothing more. But that's just me.

[Flyin4stroke]

I hate it when i use the search and it makes me wait 30 seconds after each search PITA.. Especially when i misspell a word or its too short..

[Zivon23]

Welcome to the site. This comment about made me read thru 5 pages to understand

Sorry man, glad you don't take it serious (altho I'll never ream anybody)


After my first post or 2 I didn't even look at this site for almost 2 years. I was new to forums and computers in general. Heck my 7 yr old still has more cpu skills than me.

Did you find any wheels?

I think I remember you getting blasted on your first post or two Greg....now look at you!!!

[Zivon23]

Did you find any wheels?

Yes, I found 1 set of 13's off of a Suzuki Swift.

Of course, sadly, it is all just academic at this point because my Festie is undrivable. The engine needs to be either replaced or rebuilt but I ran out of cash for repair/modifications.:sad10:
