The tires on my festiva are shot time for new ones I want to here from people that are really running 13s on their festy.Lots of wheels have the right bolt pattern but I am not going to have a chance to experiment with off sets spacers back spacing etc. I am going to the bone yard buying 4 wheels driving to the tire store and saying mount balance and put these on my car.What straight bolt on wheels and tires are you guys using.

30 + Vehicle projects right now.7 Festiva/Mazda 10 GM IDK how many others,hope that helps explain all the stupid questions/shortcuts/interchanges etc. trying to liquidate so I concentrate on the good ones. Goal finish 1 amonth using as much stuff as I already have accumulated. -
Geo Metro are common for straight to 13" upgrade. As far as tire size, I have 175/70R13's on my car. Speedometer is about %7 slow but more efficient at highway and cruising speeds.Last edited by crazyrog17; 02-22-2015, 10:53 AM.-Zack

If you can only find two Metro 13s, put them on anyway, on the front for the lowered RPMs. I did this for a while, with 155/80x13s on front and 155/80x12s on the rear, and there were no handling issues.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Running metros 155/80/13 all fours I wonder if I can go bigger without rubbing.Comment

165s won't rub, but 175s might. I always recommend everyone switch to wheel studs, and use spacers if needed, for the size tire they want.Last edited by TominMO; 02-22-2015, 05:57 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

My sig shows my Hyundai 13's. They fit with original bolts and no spacers. I had no rubbing even with heavy trailers, before I lifted it. The one pic is with no spring, looking at suspension limits.Reflex paint by Langeman...Lifted...Tow Rig
