  • Some advice?

    I have an inspiration to make my set up fairly low and wide, and also fab up some wide fibreglass wheel wheels. But ive seen a trend to get 14 x 8 deep dish wheels and put 195/45/14 on them to make the walls kind of diagonal.

    Kind of like this ...


    Do you think it would be possible.

    Thanks in advance.

Yours could be the first festy like like it.You could get some universal fiberglass flares(ebay?) and start modding!! Good luck,I can't wait to see your build.MF

          If you've got the tools and inspiration go for it! That would be awesome. Kind of reminds me of the SHO but I think you could make an even nicer looking festy.

          Good luck! Keep us updated frequently!

              I've been wanting to do a set of widened steelies with stretched tires for a while now. Would love to go with the rat rod look on my festy! Btw, where are you at on the Gold Coast? I spent some time in Brisbane, right near Dreamworld!

                  You won't be able to fit 8-in wide wheels with negative offset unless you widen the wheel wells. I personally don't like the look of stretched tires and running them that way is fairly dangerous. Not saying you shouldn't do it, just my opinion. Good luck!
