problem with aspire 13" not fitting

[RhodeStiva]

i got some 13" aspire steelies and they do not fit around the center hub.
Is there a trick i should know?

[RhodeStiva]

I have cleaned them up a bit though
Could I grind down around center hub on festiva till rims fit or do I have to buy a spacer?

Those rims have the wrong bolt pattern. You need Aspire or Rio hubs to run the 4x100 Aspire rims. Our Festivas have a 4x114 pattern.

No do not grind the centerbore out on steel rims. The Aspire rims will not ever bolt up to festiva hubs, since both the centerbore AND the bolt pattern are different. If you want to use Aspire rims which have a 54.1mm centerbore and a 4x100mm bolt pattern, you need to install Aspire brakes/hubs/knuckles/rotors. Search for aspire swap threads on here and you should find a good bit of info on it. The factory festiva bolt pattern is 4x114.3mm. Your best bet if you want 13" steels that will fit the factory festiva brakes would be a geo metro with 13s or a some of the older hyundais.

Edit: kingfish beat me to it lol.

May I ask what is wrong with that list? It shows that aspire is 100mm, and that the festiva is 114.3

[htchbck]

Yeah, the list is correct... and yes, there are several threads already. I'll make a deal with you, you search for it yourself, and if you can't find it, post the links of what you do find, so I'll at least know you tried, instead of just asking me to search it for you. Thanks

I commented in your other thread that they were different. Your cheapest route is to find some 114.3 steelies. There are a bunch on that list. I'm running 4x114.3's off of an AE-86 Corolla. Also, what size are your tires? It may be a moot point, if they are too tall. (Been dealing with this lately. Anything above 22.75" diameter, and you are going to RUB!
