    I run 14X6 wheels with a 38mm offset, 195/45/14 tires and my car is lowered. I have no issues with any rubbing at all.

        If anything I think my 15's look too big on my car even with the 45's on it.

                    the 185's will be taller and you'll have to roll your fender lip

                      yup, 185/55/14 are an inch taller (21.9") than the 195/45/14 (20.9")

                      not sure if there will be a rubbing issue, haven't tried the 185's

                        well i can tell you from experiance, the 185/60/14s WILL rub the spring perch in the rear during cornering (6" rim w/ 35mm offset) unless you use the aspire rear struts.

                        if you have 14x6 rims w/ 38mm offset and 185/60/14 tires, then the tires will rub all the time using festy struts. no rubbing with the aspire struts.

                          ok... can i use the FMS festiva springs to the Aspire Strut?

                            ok so i did some hunting around for rims that i think are cool mabey some of you will as well....all of these rims require that you have the aspire swap done due to the bolt pattern and some will require the use of spacers...but there a lot of options the link is.........so if you dont mind doing some work looks like you can put some killer shoes on your ride...

                              Just so you know... this is 15s with 195/45/15 rubber and the FMS springs... And I rub the rear fenders and my front fenders are rolled...

                              90 festiva BP/G25MR swap, spec v seats, aspire brakes, FMS springs, round headlight conversion with HID's, custom exhaust, fiberglass hood, and a whole lotta bodywork

                                YES, and if you go that route, i suggest you also find rims with 38-40mm offset so the tire will tuck under the rear fender during suspention jounce without anving to roll the lip excessivly.
