Supra MKii Rims on my festi!

[decoder]

I think I am going to be buying some MKii rims to put on my festiva this week. They are bronze and should fit well but I want to know how I can make my suspension much stiffer so that my car will no bottom out on them. Im flaring the fenders and cutting the fenders up about an inch so that it gives me more travel room. Any suggestions with a newer suspension would be greatly appreciated.
Ps. I also have some Chrome 13'' Dayton rims that will go on during nice summer days hahah

they have a decent offset. should be interesting.

neanderpaul put a set on one of his Festivas at one point, he had a heck of a time fitting them.

Those look HUGE! haha

need some 165/60/14s on those give ti the stretched look and you'll be able to lower it without rubbing too bad.

yea im alittle worried about stretching them tooo much and im gonna flare my fenders so im gonna drop it low after they are all on. I just wonder if i can get some 50 or 55 series with 165 and not have to worry about them blowing out on me

I need to find a way to fit 215's...and be able to turn.

i need to but tires for them hahah they have 215's on them now and i rub like crazy hahaha Does anyone know if i can put 185 55 14's on the 7 inch wide rims? hahaha

[FestYboy]

yes, you can without issues.

Get some Aspire struts , new or JY, for the front and rear. Will raise it and be stiffer. 2000-2002 Kia Rio struts in front will be even stiffer, but you will have to cut at least one coil from the Rio springs to sit right. Rio struts will raise it 2+ inches without cutting the springs. Stock Aspire 1+ inches. My sig pic has Aspire struts and 195/60/14 tires and +20 offset rims, so they stick out past the fenders.
I will be putting the Rio fronts on this spring. Big dips/potholes, my tires still rub now and then.

i love those wheels on that car! old school wheels are sexy! i have some old school datsun 510 wheels but havnt put them on yet i need to get some wheel studs and mag lugs (arty help me figure that out) and some tires with a mild stretch to get them to fit because of the offset but moneys been really tight for me . i was lucky enough that arty let me borrow a set of stockys with tires to get me through inspection. thanks arty

Aspire my rims are a little different and they have a fresh bronze coat on them, i just saw the thread for a vw MK2 and MK3 coilover install and im wondering if they will be stiff enough so that i can keep my supra rims on it and maybe with my flares i can tuck the rims in. The stretched tires should help me with height i may just go with 185 60 14's they are only 200 for 4!
