That isn't normal.
My Geo Metro rims fit on no problem over stock Festiva Brakes.
I don't see why 13" Metro Steelies would be interfering with the brakes, unless you or someone else did a Capri brake swap which requires 14" wheels.
That or they are bent very bad.Last edited by TorqueEffect; 05-02-2014, 09:16 PM.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

lug bolts are too long. I had to cut them down on another Festiva "while the buyer was there to pick the car up". We put some jy metro steelies on and they did the same thing you are explaining. Never got to look into what was making them too long. They were the same lug bolts that were on with the Festiva wheels. Though my wheels were aftermarket. We figured where the problem was, fixed it, and sent him on his way. Just never had a chance to figure out why.-BryantComment

Thank you very much everyone! I put some hub spacers on the front wheels and now they do not grind and rub anymore! (:Comment
