    They both use 4x114.3 bolt patters, so they should fit.

      Awesome, thanks, read that on a few other sites, but then some were saying the Festiva is 4x100, so I just wanted to be sure.

        Take a picture of the muffler.

        The muffler is like melted off the exaust, u think if that happened he will need to get a new muffler, or just replace the connection?

            The Aspire is 4x100.

            A Festiva with a 4x100 lug pattern would have had the Aspire suspension swapped to it.

                  I agree.. the duct tape worked well though, just glue a ton of duct tape roles to the dash.

                  Just found this on google/ebay



                  Do those actually... look good/snug fit? does anybody know

                  and are they worth the price? u should get it toaster

                    They're not for the LX seats.

                      You can clean your seats up, if you know how to take off seat covers and put them back on it's really easy, I took some pliers and took off the hog rings pulled the seat covers off and washed mine in some laundry detergent and bought some hog rings from the hardware store and get some hog ring pliers if you dont have them, it's cheap and cleans them up really nice, mine look brand new now.

                        Yup, they fit just fine. Here's a pic of them on my car:

                          Do they fit well?

                          Do you notice any rubbing or anything while turning?

                              The wheels fit just like the Festy rims but the tires are close and I do get a tiny amount of rub when I corner really hard. My rear wheel bearings are kinda sloppy though so it may not if they were better. I'm doing the Aspire brake swap later and it won't be an issue after that.

                              Go with a shorter tire and it'll be fine.

                                Put in the seats and the rear hatch back on today, looks quite a bit better now:





                                We got the hatch on fine, but we can't make the rear hatch shock go on right. Seems like it might be bent, but doesn't look like it anywhere.





                                Jacked it up to check out the brakes, and tried sticking a 14" wheel on it from my dad's MG but it's too big. Probably gonna be getting the 13" Metro wheels.



                                And here's how bald my old tire is:
