    At 6.5" it is really up to the offset. I'm running 14x6" and I'm CLOSE to the strut towers (Aspire swap) all the way around, but I'm at 40 offset. If you have Festiva stock parts, you'll need spacers in the back (and again if the offset is too high, all the way around). If you can keep your tire outer diameter from exceeding the stock size, that's your best bet.

        If you still have 4x114.3 bolt pattern ( stock festiva) then look for some stock Mitsubishi lancer OZ wheels, they are 15x6 with a 43mm offset IIRC. They fit great, but I recommend 1/4" spacers in the rear, like D1 suggested. I've found several sets for dirt cheap, around 100 a set with some curb rash. They are extremely strong and fairly light.

          +30mm may clear the struts using a 15x6.5" wheel but would definitely rub the fenders. Front and back.

                the rubbing has alot to do with the choice in tire as well.
