If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be? -

I have 185/60x14s on 6" wide rims. Just barely works; make sure you have good rear struts. You might want to roll your rear fenders for more clearance.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

195/45x14 is the tire that is nearly the same diameter as stock. Toyo Proxies
If you go up to 185/60x14 you get alot more selection at a considerably lower price.

And in that size Ive read alot of good reviews of the General Tire Altimax HP, not just at Tire Rack but other places as well.
But if youre speedo is saying 60 youll actually only be doing 55.Search Master - Honorary Member of Midwest Festiva Inc., Gulf Coast Chapter

I have the Toyo Proxies in 195/45/14, they are great tires, but expensive and hard to find. Just for reference in the future, is there any rubbing with the 185/60/14? That's probably what I would go with, it would be way cheaper and easier to find.Comment

Aspire conversion
No spacers. Just the Aspire suspension.
I found a set of spacers on a Festiva at the wrecker's.
If you were putting on some really wide rubber, then let me know.Last edited by bravekozak; 08-23-2009, 05:05 AM.Comment

Are these bolt on spacers that you found? Or just spacer plates? Are they for the factory festiva hubs?Is that someone there ??? 1981 VW diesel pickup---1988.5 Suzuki Samurai tin top---1993 Festiva---1974 Bricklin SV-1 ( very thirsty basket case)---2003 Tracker(bells and whistles)

I need spacer plates for my Estrellas, on the rear only. The offset is 35mm I think; I am using about a 1/4" spacer. The rims are 6" wide. For 5.5" or narrower rims you probably won't need spacers on the rear.Originally posted by drof 89 View Post90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
