14x6 is a really good fit for these cars with a 165/55/14 tire. Try to keep the offset between +10 and +30 for a decent fit with stock suspension. You can go up or down and inch in diameter pretty easily but 14" seems to be the sweet spot. I have found that searching for the bolt pattern (4x114.3) on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist usually is the easiest way to find wheels."The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles.

The rear would probably rub but you can get a 5mm or 10mm spacer as long as you get longer wheel bolts or swap to wheel studs and lug nuts. I think the front would be okay but I can't say for sure."The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles. (Winner of FOTM November 2016)

Swapping to the Advance Coilover Suspension in the rear would help out the ride a lot and only costs about $200. You can find the write-up for what parts and stuff in the Suspension section of the forum."The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles. (Winner of FOTM November 2016)

Goal finish 1 amonth using as much stuff as I already have accumulated.

Edge width and tire width are two firmly related sizes. Adaptable tire sidewalls alow a solitary tire size to be mounted on an edge of different widths. There is an edge width range for each tire size, however on the opposite side, there is a tire width range for each and every edge size.
