13" slicks

[Hatch]

Has anyone put 13 inch diameter, wide (7-10") slicks on their 'steve?

I wanna know how wide I can get away with. 4x100 aspire hardware with sawzalled fenders and miata flares

I think you could manage a good bit with your cut fenders. I have seen a few Festiva's with what I believe were 13" slicks, but I cannot recall which threads they were in.

I run 13" slicks on the advanced suspension with 0 issues.

I had to get a wheel spacer but nothing else to make them fit. I will be trying out the hoosier a7 soon. Im on an older style of hoosier now but i think the size is still the same as the a7

The spacer should be due to the wheel offset more so than the tire choice though

I mean that a better offset would fix the problem. If the tire is too big and rubbing the spring perch, a spacer will fix that of course.

Yup the offset issue is exactly the info I'm looking for - mike, what size are your 13s and what tire size is on em?

[Hatch]

If I find a 10" 13 that has the right offset to not require a spacer that'd be ideal! If not, then I'll bump it back to a narrower wheel

A 10" 13 seems like it will be hard to find. Im not sure what mine are. I bought them used. I think they are sentra wheels.

There are some super awesome Vintage JDM wheels that pop up every now and then in 13x10, if you are ever willing to drop the cash

They make tons of dirt track style steelies in 13x10

[mikemounlio]

The main question is what size tire do you want to run. The tire will tell you what rim width to run.

Idk if this is relevant lol. and 13x10 seems super wide to me!

this crx I see at autox has crazy wide wheels/tires and I saw they were 13"

I'm no good source of information but I think 13x10 wouldnt fit unless it had a lot of negative offset.

13x7 +25ish is pretty much the widest you're going to fit under stock pulled/rolled fenders.

I've heard 22x8x13 size slicks talked about before. I'm thinking those fit without modding your fenders.

I will be trying out a 205 60 13 next. I want to feel the difference for myself between the different sizes. Before i make any changes to the suspension i will cut out the sway bar on my aspire beam. See if taking out some of that stiffness help me any.
