  • new to ford festiva forum

    Hi i'm new to this forum i'm from England originally
    and have moved to the DR and opened my own automotive repair shop
    on the north coast and been here the last 15 years.
    A customer gave me his old worn out 94 festiva, 5 door, B3, carb.
    I'm going to pimp this car out for the shop usage.
    Give it a nice paint job, do all the interior,and big rims
    I'm open to advice.
    I class myself as a very good auto technician
    been in the business now for 26 years
    I'll be glad to help out here if i can.
    First Q. Whats the largest rim that will fit this car.
    will post photos of the car before and after
    going to O/H and keep the B3 engine for starters

              Dominican Republic was my guess too. That or he lives with his doctor (DR ).

                If it is a 94 (round festy), I reckon 17 is about as big as you'll get UNDER the guards.
                Of course you could go bigger, but the ride height would be up there too
                In addition, a 7" width is also about the biggest without customising the trailing arm, inner guards and suspension components, having done this already.
                As for the square festy- ^^ these guys are definitely the experts.

                And Welcome!!!
