#11 of 17 Need to replace 93 Geo Metro convertable top by breezy2 Jul 25, 2008 (3:45 pm)
I have a 93 Geo Metro convertable that I absolutely love especially with the high cost of gas. It needs a new convertable top. I am not too mechanically inclined but am willing to try. What I would like to know would it be possible for 2 novices to install a new convertible top on my Metro?

Try googling "Geo Metro convertible top" and you'll at least get a list of places to start looking. You might even want to ask a local body shop for some leads.

What is involved with buying 13" wheels for my 94 metro? I understand that I may have to drive the hubs for larger wheel studs but does anything else change? Replies to this message: zenden (Dec 26, 2008 6:34 pm) zaken1 (Jun 15, 2009 8:45 pm)

Replying to: kattkisson (Dec 19, 2008 11:11 am) I put 13's om mine and didn't change anything I check the lugs every 1,500 miles they are not coming loose; I wouldn't worry about changing anything! Just tighten them up after putting them on and don't worry about it, its just a gokart!

Replying to: kattkisson (Dec 19, 2008 11:11 am) I realize this question was asked six months ago; but if anyone comes along who is interested in this relatively common issue, I'd like to add that after putting 13" wheels on my '90 Metro, I was warned by a tire shop that the taper on my lug nuts was just barely large enough to keep the wheel from falling off. Not long afterward, I read a post by a Canadian member; in which he mentioned that Gorilla makes an oversized lug nut specifically for this conversion, which threads onto the stock wheel studs; and that Summit Racing carries them. So I ordered a set, and promptly found that my front end felt a lot more stable. Apparently, the wheels were actually flexing with the stock nuts' smaller taper. So I heartily recommend those Gorilla lug nuts.
