1/4 in. spacer on the front to clear the strut and frame and i am going to need 3/4in. or 1in. spacer on the rear. with that much of a spacer on the rear i am going to have to either trim my fenders or block the springs so they dont have much travel. the tires are 205/40/17's if anyone was wondering. a lot of work but a festy on 17's will be well worth it

been done, not worth it really because you can't use enough tire for a proper fit. i'll be stepping into factory Accord 16x6"s on 195/40s and i would believe that's about as far as you want to go on a festy.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

Looks like stock brakes, if I were you I'd upgrade to Capri XR2 brakes. Looks decent if you finish it off right.-Josh RComment

And swap in a larger engine and brakes to handle those rims. Than also get a body kit so it doesnt look like an suv.Comment
