  • Playing with power now! wheels to fit a festy

    OK, after my meltdown 8 pages into this section, I went to the store, got me a beer or 70, came home, and decided to start from the other end, last to first, on pg 13 I find this lil gem!



    This list includes center bore sizes, but not offset but hey! it gets me a lil further

    From what I can find on the interwebz, the replacement wheels for these cars are all +40 offset, the same as a stock festy. I hope to verify whether some of these will work tomorrow. I will update in the afternoon if I can



    FORD FESTIVA 87-93 12 X 4 4X114.3 59.6 H
    MERCURY TOPAZ 88-90 13 X 5 4X114.3 59.6 H
    MAZDA GLC 82-85 13 X 5.5 4X114.3 59.6 H
    MAZDA 323 9 86-89 13 X 5.5 4X114.3 59.6 H
    MAZDA RX7 GSL/SE 84-88 14 X 5.5 4X114.3 59.6 H
    MAZDA 626 83-87 14 X 5.5 4X114.3 59.6 H

    If these pan out, then this will help to answer the common question of what tires will bolt right up to a stock festy with no mods. Phew!

    If anybody has a comment on whether they have used these successfully with no mods, that would be awesome!

    OK for a quick update. A bad day is turning into a bad week.
    Took my son to school, was gonna go to the JY to try wheels. Water pump told me to get a liffe since its was over. Guess baby car wants a break. I am gonna take the tranny outta my 93 donor escort, and put it in my 95 escort, and let it run for a bit. I am gonna get baby car back on the road in a couple of weeks when money isn't so tight(her fault!). I will be looking at these wheels then. A JY near me apparently keeps all the wheels labeled and such, and say they have ALL these wheels, I am welcome to try them out!

    Also. the above list ^^ does refer to offset, whether high, medium, or low. All these show high offset, which is apparently in the 35 to 45 range.
