    14" Rims w/ Aspire Suspension <pics attached>

    Here are the latest pics of my Festiva with my 14" rims sporting 175/65/14 tires.

    Suspension is an Aspire front and rear setup with no coils cut.

    Absolutely ZERO rubbing now with the rims / tires!

    Nice 5-lug caps. Tell your insurance company you have 5 lug nuts and maybe they'll give you a safety discount. :-P

      Going to leave it that height or lower it? It looks good now, but I think it could look better lowered a bit.

          Major ground clearance there! Looks like a good car for snow in Colorado, with 14" snow tires.

                I like them bigger. Looks better plus I figure I'm getting 15-20 miles more out of my tank with the larger 13" tires.

                  I'm leaving it exactly as it is.... I'm not getting any rubbing and I don't wanna chance it by lowering it. The aspire suspension was one of the main reasons I did it with the increase in height.

                  I'm pleased

                      this makes me want to find a set of 14 alloys and do the aspire swap.... but alas I don't have much more than gas money to fill up my tank to go to work till the end of next week.... I've got all the mods planned out if I can ever fund them.... I WILL do them one day.... it may be awhile but eventually I'll get these plans enacted....

                              Phil, have you gotten an alignment yet? I just want to know if everything lined up okay within spec to prevent tire wear.

                              If so, I'll have to try full uncut Aspire springs for a winter/mudder/beater.
