The most repeated question in the world

i think this has been covered but all i can find is bits and piece's every were. i want a relatively light weight wheel for my 91 festiva. I plan on putting aftermarket wheels and tires. I know I want 14 inch rim with 185\60r14 on them. I will be doing the aspire swap first then i will try to find those coil-overs for the right price. i want to know if this rim will fit http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/Call...filterSpecial= they are for a ford escort and have the right bolt patter (4-100) and maybe the right back spacing 38 +. will they rub with 185 \60 14's and will they work with the future coil-overs. or does anyone have a lighter cheaper wheel and tire that is known to fit. any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Recheck your link to the wheels it's not working.

I had 185/60/14's and the rubbed. Try 195/45/14's. Toyo has them and I love mine.

i think that will work if not it is a wheel for a ford escort hatchback. 4-100 38 9.8 LBS 14" and is about 110 per rim. what wheels did you use and those toyo's will work on a rim "suggested" for a 185\60 14 or should i look for a wider wheel.

one more quick question what back spacing would be best for a 14 rim with 195\45\14 ???? 35 or 38 and has anyone used the American racing Estrella before or should i go with the 9 lb kosie 14 rim.................. so 35 or 38

my miata wheels are 14x5.5" and I think the back spacing is 45mm

[GordidaChalupaFestiva]

so less backspacing would cause the wheels to come out more how close are yours to the fender. also how close to the spring perches. what is more of a problem on our car Clarencing the front or the rear??

The rear has problems with spacing before the front. I have a set of miata alloys with 195/55/14 and I need 10mm spacers to keep the tires from rubbing on the spring perches. 195/45/14 fit just under the perch and don't need spacers.
