    No idea on that one. I bought the ones I did specifically because they fit the festy pattern. And I just bookmarked the wheel list on Firefox.

      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?

          Yeah you might be right. And Id agree also, just do the Aspire swap and be done with it.

            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

              Why stop with the Aspire swap if you're going to be trying the RX-7 mod? Rotory Festiva, anyone? Festiva RLX? Eh? Eh? Haha!

                  Reminds me of an old automatic transmission case. Little wormholes going everywhere, and somewhere the magic ball bearing to make it work.

                    I have the stock brake setup with 2nd gen Rx7 wheels (rotary dial) and crap susp and it only rubs on hard bumps. Also running a BP swap.

                      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.
