  • wheel question, yes I searched

    Yes I searched and could not find a straight clear cut answer or anyone running the setup I want to run.

    Can a 15x7 +30 offset wheel, with 195/50/15 tires fit on a completely stock suspension Festiva? I dont want to roll the fenders, I dont want to change shocks, I dont want to build a coilover setup. Stock ride height, stock suspension, will it fit. If no, please justify your reply. Thanks in advance for any help any of you can provide.

          I'm running 15 x 6 Altima rims. Nexxen 195/45R15's Stock suspension, no cutting of anything.

          Fronts fit with zero issues. Rears need a spacer. I started out with 5/16ths spacer and changed over to 16mm adapter with wheel studs.

          They fit perfect, no rubbing, no issues.

                The reason behind my No is because you stated that you didnt want to Cut or Roll the fenders and you dindnt want to change your struts. With the wheels as described and the tire size you stated its a big NO!!! LOL Thats why he found that funny im sure. You wanted a cut and dry answer and I was just giving it to you.

                    I have no idea about the offset. Might check with thirdman. He did the first swap that inspired me...:glasses2:

                          Why not? And the question and answer may help someone else in the future.

                            ok thanks! this may have been asked before but i couldnt find it.

                            would these rims fit without rubbing?



                            they are 14x6 45offset. they come off of a 94-97 miata and weigh 10.8-11.5 pounds each (depending on if they are hollow or solid spoked. I was wanting to put a 195/45/14 tire from toyo proxes on it. would any others fit? like 195/60/14. those seem to be more redally available. At the moment I have stock suspension but will be upgrading to coilovers (quaddawqs how-to) When i move back next summer.
