TaDa! 15"x6" Sentra Steelies, Nexxan 195/45R15 tires, 5/16" spacers, stock springs

Cool thanks for the info. I found the 1/8 spacers on ebay but they were about 6 bux each with about $9.00 S&H each...

I'll see how the 5/8 spacers work out first.

Thanks again

So has anyone other than me tried this out yet?

I have 15x6 rims with 195/45-15's.
Not sure the thickness of the spacer in back, But no rubbing after I rolled my fenders. Too big for me though. Swapping to 14's off my datsun.

Thirdman -

EXCELLENT post! Found this while looking for posts on powder coating. Totally agree with the other members who said it was very informative: dimensions, links to parts sources, GREAT pix (especially on the spacer issue). Excellent and much appreciated. The new width of the 195s compared to the stock 155R12s is exactly what I'm looking for as I restore my Festy.

2 questions which I did not see covered here:

1 - Did you have to roll your fenders at all to make the new tires fit?

2 - Do you have the stock Festiva axle/brakes, etc or did you first do the Aspire brake/axle swap to make your new wheels/tires fit?

(edit) OK, I lied...

3rd question:

You put on these shoes 2 years ago. Still happy with them and did you ever end up putting spacers on the fronts?

1) no
2) stock
3) I was very happy with it until I totaled my car. No spacers on the front.

Ok I wanted to upgrade my wheels but I have no clue what to do, can someone please enlighten me on the process of finding rims abd know the right size, and spaces verses no spaces. I've never been a car girl, but when I seen that festiva for the first time I knew we were meant to be! Lol but I have the original 12" rims but fairly new tires
