    Don't be discouraged by all these comments.........The overall dimension of your low pro tires compared to stock isn't enough to be worried about more power and better braking.....for a DD.
    IMHO

      I agree to this ^^ as long as the total overall diameter is not that far from stock, brakes, wheel bearings etc. should all be just fine

      Although i am still waiting for a further back pic

      1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
      2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

      1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        Did some of these comments scare the OP away? Would love to see more pics (ie: further back)

          What I do appreciate about 12s (when you can find them) and 13s is that they are cheap to buy. The equivalent in 15s when I was shopping around, after completing the Aspire swap, was 4 times the cost. I don't know what kind of expense 17s are but likely the value of the car, at least. If you're looking to attract attention you'll get it, that's for sure. Good luck.

                Discuss improvements to your Festiva or Aspire in the handling, braking, wheels and tires areas.

                  Here's a comparison between stock tires and his size.

                  Although... he does have the Aspire swap. A little bit bigger brakes and tires.

                    I like it, especially the fact you dont need a jack to crawl under the car

                    What wheels are those? They look like TSW VX1's

                        Paint them like Gun Metal or Black etc, and they will look a lot smaller.

                          I was able to put on 185/80/13 onto my aspire, stock suspension. It was higher than a ford ranger. The tire calc put it at only 8.9% taller...

                          Yeah after I put on those tires i could change the oil, put new rubber on the exhaust hangers, change the shifter, all on my back lol.

                              Why stop at 18"s ^^ Bust some 20's.. There was a Silver Festiva in the phillapeans running 18's had the guards cut up and rolled..
