Is it possible to have 17 inch by 7.5inch wheels on a wa 93 festiva also having the 35mm lowering springs?

Ooh, I like those wheels, but good luck making them fit. On the plus side, you'll never need brakes again, 'cause I doubt the car will roll much.

I think the biggest I've seen on a festy was 16". 15" is a tight fit. I think 13-14" looks best on these cars.91GL BP/F3A with boost

Someone here has done it. They had to cut the rear suspension arm and weld a channel in it. It allowed the wheel to fit up into the fenderwell. It was like seeing 24's on a small body car.
Heck I tell people that mine are "scale" 20s.
They are 15's tho, but I keep 'em clean....:lol:

Even if they do, how heavy would the wheel/tire combo be? You need to consider a brake upgrade with a big-wheel setup. A stock Festy 12" wheel/tire weighs about 23 lbs., and Festy brakes are marginal. With heavier wheels/tires, there is more rotating mass to bring to a stop; longer stopping distances. I can tell the difference with my 14" rims/tires, which are only about 7 lbs. heavier than the 12" Festy rims/tires. IMO the best overall setup is a 13x5.5" aluminum rim with Aspire brakes; good tires available, no weight gain, better braking.Originally posted by NicholasJackson View PostIs it possible to have 17 inch by 7.5inch wheels on a wa 93 festiva also having the 35mm lowering springs?

I will be doing the Capri XR2 front-brake upgrade real soon now, to bring my 14s to a quick stop.Last edited by TominMO; 07-28-2010, 08:10 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
