I seen some 17" 4 bolt wheels with 205/50 yokohama tires for $375 on CL, so I'm wondering
what would it take to shove these under a festiva? hmmmmmm

Those tires look fun to mount, but I guess with extra low profile they're close enough to not need mods.Comment

Both of my cars have been changed to studs instead of the bolts from the factory. It make putting the wheels on a lot easier. Plus I'm running 14's on one car and 15's on the other one.Jerry

Oh...it will need mods to fit 17's! Anything over 15" gets tricky to get them to fit without rubbing somewhere. The shocks in the rear are a limiter. Spacers required to clear the spring perch on the strut. Front wants to hit stuff when turning. Minor stuff really, but some mods are required.Originally posted by bp71monte View Post
Check out this tire size comparison site:

17" wheels could be cool with some work. 195/40s, coilovers/air ride and a lot of cutting.
205/50 is an absurd tire size for a 17" wheel on a Festiva.Comment

i posted it and they were 20's with custom suspension you are unable to drive over 30 mph with those rims.;

These are the biggest wheels I've seen look "right" on a Festy. Not sure what size they are, but they took a LOT of work to look like they should be there.
Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
