they look really nice....maybe hard to fit but it could be done

First off, welcome Mike. As for the rims. If you are going to buy those exact wheels and are planning on putting them on a Festiva you will need to do an Aspire suspension swap so the wheels will bolt on. If you're not sure about the swap use the "search" button to locate what's been written so far. Hope this helps. After looking at the ad again it appears the wheels have a dual bolt pattern so you may be good to go and the preceding message is null and void.

Be aware of the wheel's offset (stock is +38mm) and your selected tire width. There is a real potential to scrub the tire shoulders on both the spring perch & the fender well. Spacers may be involved to get things centered. Heavier tire/wheel combos == sooner wheel bearing replacement intervals!

If you are going to buy those exact wheels and are planning on putting them on a Festiva you will need to do an Aspire suspension swap so the wheels will bolt on.

From the looks of the pictures, it seems they are dual bolt pattern. Those would fit the Festiva or the Aspire both (which is the way to go, so that when you DO upgrade to the Aspire brakes, you don't have to find new wheels to fit them).

It doesn't list a width... Typically anything under 6.5" is what you'll need. It also doesn't list a tire size. I ran 195/45's on my 15's and they fit great. I'm not sure if anyone has tried bigger, but those worked well for me, and that was even being lowered.

At $400 (with tires), that looks to be a good deal. But I'd be getting specs on the tire size, how much tread is left, and width of the wheels, just to be sure.

My dad has those same wheels on his aspire. They look pretty sharp.

Be careful there it could be 4x108 ford pattern too I would ask first

[Stivadiva]

The wheels are very nice looking. I like the style a lot.

oooh ya i am planing on the aspire swap but not till spring and did the aspires come with vented rear brakes at all i would like to do that over a rear drum

and thanks for all the help guys i cant wait for winter to b over so i can start working on festiva

[festurbo]

The Aspire comes with rear drum brakes but the drum is about 1" bigger than the Festiva drum so you get better braking. Hope that helps.

I've never seen dual pattern wheels come in 4x100 and 4x108? It's normally 4x100 and 4x114.3.

i know that i can take the rims on a hyundai and they will fit and i think it said that they would fit what is the pattern on the festiva

and if i need a spacer how thick of one do i need

[JPT]

...and if i need a spacer how thick of one do i need

That would depend on the width and offset. You really should find out how wide they are, the bolt patterns and what the offset is before you buy those.

Find that info, post it here and we will be able to tell you how big a spacer you need (if you need one at all).

Those remind me of Greg (Eurotiva)'s wheels. I don't have a good straight shot, but here's an example:

[Festiva_tunner]

The aspires have Rotors up front and Drums in back - I remember someone on the forum talking about creating a floating rear suspension and converting to disks (I belive off of a Capri) But I never saw anything after the initial thread
