I've been able to get 155-80/13s to rub on every Festiva I've driven.. but I usually have to get a little air for it to happen.

I believe it isn't the size of the tires.
Since he has 13" non-OEM wheels, it could be the off set that is causing the tires to rub.

Well that would explain it. I'd just go with a 5mm spacer then. And studs.Originally posted by SiliconSoul View Post90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

I just tried to do mine, and I cant keep the chrome shaft from turning when I turn the upper nut to it. I don't want to grip the shaft too hard w a vise grip and bend or shape it wrong.Comment
-
There's usually 2 flats on the top of that shaft hold that with a wrench and turn the big nut with another.Comment
-
theres a flat on the top of the shaft, but the nut still has to pass it for me to be able to grip it. the nut hasnt gone down far enough.Comment
-
but the new ones came with diff nuts that screw down a little more to be able to reach the flat. welp, guess ill be removing the nuts on this one!
EDIT: the new nut replacement works best, you can use one wrench to turn the nut, one to hold the flat. only question i have now is, how far do i tighten down the nut? i had the jack under it pushing the axle up, took it out and tightened it as much as possible w no jack under it.Comment
