STR 513 15x8

[Prafeston]

I'm not a fan of RBs at all. So I'd go with the White ones!

[Die-Laughing]

I like the Grid's better as well.. The RB's look good in a 13"

I'm ready to see some wheels fitted! We need to start a thread to get stickied strictly for wheel/tire fitment.

took this picture last night for all the haters. I couldn't see the tire size (tucked up under the fender) or the wheel width, but they are on an XB.

The triumph of style over function/common sense.

Thats some stance right there haha, well I bought the 15x7 rota grids 38mm offset, just waiting for them to come in, What tire choices do I have that are good in performance for 165/45/15? thanks

[Die-Laughing]

Good choice! I can't wait to see them mounted!

Search that size on ebay and thats pretty much what ya got! Haha

I'm rolling the Federal Formozas ( on 2 of my cars). They seem to perform well and they wear good. I have had them on the track and they actually felt better than my 185 45 15 nankang tires. I'm not sure what other brands offer this size in this country.

[bondo]

Alright sounds good. Thanks for the help guys, once I get the wheels and tires ill post some pics. And yeah those federal formozas were the only ones I could find haha

I got my rims in and they are SICK!!! pretty light to. Now Im just waiting on the tires and full coilovers and a fender roller haha, thinking bout getting the eastwood one. Ill post some pics tomorrow of the rims, And also I put them on the car to see what it looks like and the back definetly needs spacers, what is a good size? thanks

[bondo]

Also would these fit, I know you have to mod them a bit I can do that but the front ones look different?

Those raceland coilovers will work in the front. Here are some pictures of how I modify them to fit a festiva.






It looks like raceland now does a Black Zinc finish on them instead of the clear/silver zinc. Black Zinc is more durable than clear. Another option is to use the 299 dollar JOM (or equivalent) style coil over kit for a mk2/3 VW off ebay. You'll save about 150 bucks because they are 299 with free shipping and they are actually a little nicer than the race lands. The valving is the same as they both use the same strut inserts. I have both and I prefer the JOM setup. The only drawback is that the 299 dollar coilovers come with very stuff supplemental springs that aren't very user friendly on a Festiva, but the raceland supplemental (filler) springs will compress under the weight of a Festiva, which is what you want them to do. If you get your spring rate and length correct for your application though you will not need supplemental springs.

You'll want to make camber spacers that go between the beam and your stub axles. If you get this right then you won't need rear wheel spacers. Mine are 3/8" thick on the bottom and just under 1/4" on the top iirc. You'll have to determine the width of your spacers as you go, it's a trial and error thing really.
Here is an example of some camber spacers for the rear stub axles. These are 2.8-3 degree adjustable ones.
