  • Do you think these wheels would fit a festiva?

    Hey there.

    I have some wheels with mounted tires for sale, and someone said I should also advertise them on festiva forums because he said they would be a unique, agressive wheel on a festiva.

    But I don't know a darn thing about festivas. I have no idea if they would fit or if they would be crap.

    So before I think of advertising, I was wondering if I could get some experienced opinions.

    They are imported, genuine Watanabe Type A.
    14x6 +20. 4x114.3

    +20 and 6 inches wide is a rather weak setup on my RWD Corolla, but could also be an aggressive offset on a FWD setup.

    The tires are 185/55R14 kumho Ecsta Supra 712. Good tread left, just a few thousand miles on them.

    This is what they look like:

    Genuine Watanabe:


    A pic of them on my car. See how deep they sit in the rear wheel well? It's not ideal for my car, but not ideal for many FWD cars either, but I was told festivas are somewhat kind of in the middle and prefer a low positive offset wheel so it doesn't rub on the inner wells. Have no idea if it's true or not.

    Soooo... anyone know how these would work on one? Anyone in Edmonton who is willing to try a test fit?

            Assuming since he is looking for someone in Edmonton to test fit them, that he is north of the border.

              Ship them south of the border and I'll "Test Fit" them for you.

              Seriously, those are nice. They'll fit but might rub the fenders some.

                  thanks for the replies guys. So the verdict is it'll fit, but might rub a bit. Do you mean rubbing on the inside or the outside? sorry, I'm clueless in terms of festivas!

                    more concerned of rubbing on the outside fender lip due to offset, but with a little tweeking, they should fill our wells quite nicely (actually may stick out of the rear a little, i'm running a 14x6 +35 185/60 and they just come to the outside lip in the rear).
                    Trees aren't kind to me...

                    currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
                    94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.
