other wheels

i know there is a wheel chart on here but most of them dont show the wheel offset so i cant find this out easily....which 14" factory wheels (dont care what they look like) have the same bolt pattern and will fit the festiva with nearly the same offset ?

There doesn't seem to be anyone that knows this stuff for sure. I still can't get an answer on what 13 inch wheels absolutely, positively fit a stock Festiva. We all keep being told to search the site or look at the charts. I am sorry I can't help you either. I am not being nasty or smart. I am just discouraged! Good luck! :?

its because no one really puts other wheels on their stock festiva hubs or they get some from rodger. they all have upgraded to the aspire stuff and that changes the bolt pattern the festiva bolt pattern is rare I believe one of the only cars that had it was a 240. this is why we tell you to look at the chart its not that hard find one that matches go to the junkyard and test fit.

supposedly standard offset for Ford rims is 36 or 36.5mm

I found a site that had a list of offsets for stock wheels on 6 or 7 cars but I can't find where the hell I put the link

just found out that my yamaha 4 wheeler has the same bolt pattern as the festiva...thing is they are only 12s as well but are wider with zero offset so they stick out of the wheel well a bit. just a little useless info

I hope you aren't planning on using ATV wheels for your Festiva. They are too light duty for our use.. Not to mention probably lugcentric not hubcentric. -Kyle

Hyundai Excel alloys will fit stock Festiva bolt pattern. I believe older RX-7 wheels will fit as well. Festiva offset is 40mm and Aspire is 45mm. Anything from 38 to 45mm positive offset should work as long as you don't get more than a 5.5" wide wheel. Make sure you get a bore hole to match your hubmount diameter or you'll probably have to get some hubcentric rings.

wasnt seriously going to put atv wheels on...just playin around. although i did rip out a page in an atv magazine that had a festiva with 4 wheeler tires and a realy good camo paint job, looked like it was set up to be a sand buggy. it said under it that it was going to be put up against the polaris 700 but the polaris had a strong disadvantage because it outweighed the festiva. they were joking of course....il scan it and put it in the album page.

What about some old mustang 4 lug rims. Found a set of 14x6 mustang rims that are 4 lug.

Make sure the bolt hole pattern is correct. Then make sure the offset of the Mustang wheels will work okay.

Like I said before, keep it between 38 and 45mm positive offset and you should be okay, at least with 5.5 or 6.0 inch wide rims.

won't work. the Stang rims are 4x4.25in (4x108mm)

festy is 4x4.5in (4x114mm) and Aspire is 4x100mm

ya.....have 2 older stangs here and none work....checked that a while ago. sticking to stock until i get another.

Thanks for the rundown on those rims, saved me some moola. If anyone ever comes across a set of fat rims that'll work on a stock Festiva, post it please! I do not have the money to do the suspension swap but I'd still like to put a little more surface area on the road.
