On a more related topic, there are 4 bolt and 5 bolt rx-7 wheels. The 4 bolts fit better on the Festiva than do the 5 bolts. Qroger

Of course the 4 bolt pattern fits better on a Festiva than a 5 bolt pattern. Festivas have a 4 bolt pattern.
Look up Capri swap also.

Going out on a limb here, but I think he's trying to figure out how the five holes would fit if he swapped the hubs over. Just a guess, and I'm not sure if it would be worth the hassle. Me, I'd just do the aspire swap, get some super sexy wheels for them, and be done with it.
Am I close here, Roger?

Let the hoarding begin!! :mrgreen:
Actually that was sposed to be ironic - absurd humor. My dilemma is that I really like the early rx-7 wheels, which I am pretty sure will fit on the stock Festiva hubs. I also like the idea of better brakes. My Festiva that I am trying to get road worthy has shot ball joints, and I have ordered Festiva LCA's. I think I read here that the Capri has worthy brakes that will swap, but it requires Aspire LCA''s. So, "all" I want is the standard bolt pattern, better brakes, and Festiva LCA's. Oh and the Aspire rear axle beam with anti roll bar. Is that too much? lol

How are the stock brakes etc. with the bigger engine, bigger wheels?
With more motor and heavier wheels I'd STRONGLY recommend more brakes; that BP can get you into some trouble, and greater rotating mass will make the marginal Festy brakes downright dangerous in some situations.
