I may have a few stock 12 inch rims up for grabs soon. I'll be in touch on this, but I want to do some wheel/tire changes (as I can afford them) over the next few months, and will have no use for the old ones that are presumably stock for the cars. I also know of a small 'parts pile' that is up for sale in the Memphis Tennessee area, the guy selling the stuff off is NOT a mechanic, and considers them all to just be junk.
Hell, he flat out gave me a valve cover for a B6T, and there are a lot of wheels and tires laying around from a guy who was into Festiva's that passed away recently.
The guy you wanna talk to is Fletcher Talley
(901) 590-8226
*Your best time to catch him is 5AM to about noon, CST
I bought my 1990 and 1991 Festies from the guy for a whopping total of $1100 for both. I'll give you a clue here:
I paid out $650 for a nearly turn-key 1991 with a B6T in it.
* There's another car left that I think is a turn-key ride, and not bad looking. He wants $800 for it, but there is a paperwork shuffle involved due to the prior owner being deceased. THAT car is bone stock, but everything works AFAIK. Including the A/C
~You can see it (actually SEE it) in the garage forum area where I posted a video about my cars.
***I'm sharing this, because I GOT MINE - and I don't want to see the rest scrapped, ya know?

I think the 155/80x13's are 1 inch taller (22.8 in.) -- than the 155/80x12's (21.8 in.) -- if I figured that right. Both have a 124mm (4.9 in) side wall and of course the shorter setup would have a little better acceleration.Originally posted by TominMO View PostComment

I have 165/60-13 with FMS lowering springs no problems.
175/70-13 were no problem until I lower it.
Your spring must be cut.If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!
