      I agree with Pu241. Putting your location in your profile helps out a ton. When I was doing my B6 engine swap, Htchbck just offered to come over and help me out with it. He wouldn't have offered if he didn't know where I was from. In the end, he was a big help, and it was all because I put my location in my profile:-)

            Try 165/65/14. It's a safe bet.

                  Will this size fit on a stock pattern or do you need to do a aspire f/r swap to make these work?

                  Also in the rear with these tires do you need to use shims ?

                      I thought you switched from 185/65/14 to 165/65/14 on your blue BP?

                          If I'd known about the 195/45/14's I'd never would have used the 165/65.

                            Obviously by the 14 in the tire designation but what I'm asking does this tire fit under the skirts with a 14 rim on the stock spindles

                              Yes they will fit if you have the right bolt pattern on the rim, the festiva bolt pattern is 4X114.3, if the bolt pattern on the rim matches it will bolt on

                              If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
