    Search, Search, Search, Search, Search, Search, there's a sticky in the top of this forum with a link to wheels that fit the festiva's.

    No, they wont unless you've done the aspire swap

      I have the aspire swap in the driveway and once its on, I'm probably going with the 14x5 escort wheels, so I'll let you know how it turns out if I can ever find some escort ones cheap. Matts right though, the festy bolt pattern won't fit them only the aspire bolt pattern will work with those.
      No festiva for me ATM...

        I was thinking about getting some 16x6.5 rims, 4x114 of course

        4x114 is the same size as 240 wheels too.

          I have the Aspire swap done on my car. I have a set of 15in wheels from a 93 Escort GT and they bolt up but rub bad with the stock EGT tires

            the EGT 15"s are 5 and 1/2" wide though, and the 14" alloys (7 spoke) are only 5" wide, so I don't think they would rub too bad, especially not with a stiffer suspension... my wheels I have now are dual drilled 100mm and 114mm, so I won't necessarily have to swap wheels once I get the aspire brakes on, but I most likely will.

              and am going to use escort wagon wheels, they come in stamped steel so they will look kind of stock, but the wagons had 14x5.5 in so they wont be to big and they will be 5.5 wide like the EGT alloys.

                        318 model late 80's also on some vw jetta/golfs

                        a wheel that will bolt up but the offset is at a 20!!!
                        is the old datsun 280z's 6 spoke might want to get some low pros for it though.
