Find the offset of your current wheels and then look underneath to check clearance from your suspension parts. If you still have Festiva rear struts, getting Aspire rear struts will give you about 3/4" more clearance for the tire.
My 13 X 5.5" VW alloys have a 38 mm offset ("ET38") and fit really nice with the Aspire rear struts. However, you will probably be using larger diameter tires (195/45 or /50-15s) and your inner rim will be 1/2" closer to your suspension.
I'm pretty sure others have used 15 X 6.5" wheels, and the 38mm offset sounds about right. Also check for fender clearance, especially if you lower your car some.

Those rims look great. I'd always liked the styling of the 'rays' type wheels. Also- The Australian recommended offset is +44, although i agree with Safety Guy- 38 is the best shot....

I have coil overs on the back and the spring pearch is cut flat with the shock, so I have good room back there.
Thanks for the replies"Look, I have long hair, tats and smoke like a chimney.. All of my customers know it.. Don't like it? Don't turn over my rock."

That looks awesome! If you lowered the back, would the tires still fit?Originally posted by Jimmy

Not sure.
I'm in the middle of an Escort GT independent rear suspension swap right now. When that is done they better fit.
