fms has some. other than that look for any thing with a 4x114.3 bolt pattern. 15" wheels are pretty much the max sized wheel you can put on the car. Dont get a tire over 195/45/15 either. offset should be 38mm but you can get away with 40mm but you might need spacers.
thats pretty much it.Ian Carr

99' S70 T5M- faster DD
86' 951- almost ready for track season

Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though. -
If you go 16" will I need to change any thing? ThanksComment

The wheel well isn't that big to fit 16 in very easily. I think some one did but they said it was a lot of work.
It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.

i run a 195/50r15 tire on a 15x6.5 wheel
i know for a fact unless you use aspire struts and trim its even tough to get these on... rears are not a big deal, but the fronts are tough, presonally IMHO i think anything over a 15" wheel looks too big for the car... the 15's look like 17's compared to a normal sized car...1992 Festiva...

i got 15's on mine with 195/50/15 tires and have quarter inch spacers to make them fit they are extremely tight fit on the rear but they fit, 16's may take some modifying to put on
1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor
1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)
If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?Comment

16's you will need to roll the fender lip really good and also you will need to run coil overs so you can cut off the spring perch essentially. even then turning radius and hitting the fender liner is going to happen.
go with 15's and get the 195/45/15s and be happy.
p.s. go with a 38 mm off set because with 40mm you are more likely to hit the trailing arm (sway arm?) in the rear with a 195/50/15Ian Carr

Guys,
Do you think there will be a problem if I go with 15s with the 195/45/15 and an aspire brake swap? The wheel is a 15x6.5 and I want to make sure I'm not killing my car on turns.Comment

what about 14s? do most of them fit on pretty easily?89 L, hopefully returning from the dead soon with a little more power... :twisted:
