How can i fit 17'' rims on a small ford festiva? the shocks rub. what can i do?

Question

ford festiva r

Answer 1

move the rim and tire away from the shock with a spacer.

If you go too far or the wheel is too wide you might end up not rubbing the shock any more and end up rubbing the outside fender during load, or during turning.

Answer 2

Simple, all the animals species you see today were not all the species that existed in the times of Noah's flood.. You have to remember that true Creationist reasoning does not accept the science model of evolution, Creationist accept the adaptation processes that dictate changes that can occur in a shorter period of time than what science claims.. For example we have got many different breeds of dogs in the last few thousand years, that if all the dogs went extinct today and their fossils were found in a thousand years time scientists would believe that these fossils represented different species and not different breeds of dogs..

Answer 3

Those rims are too big for the car. Get different rims. Try getting spacers also, but it would be better to get new rims.

Answer 4

WHY? The wheels cost more than the car. I say leave it alone!

Answer 5
