Just checking before i hit up the junkyard, does anyone have some cheap 13s laying around in a 4x100 bolt pattern with decent tires?

Dude i was just at a buddy's house and he has 18s on his truck, and by the looks of it i think my whole wheel with the tire and all will fit inside his rim alone :lol:

I highly doubt 15s would even fit on this car without rubbing.

Also i was wrong on the bolt pattern on the title, i need 4x100.

OK i'm super confused now. I'm having conflicting info on what the bolt pattern is on this car. One site (a Festiva enthusiast site) says they're 4x100. This other site says 4x114 which is what i originally asked for http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/Ford___Vehicle_Bolt_Pattern_Reference.cfm


I don't know WTF they are now. Where are you located with the 'scort wheels? We can try them out and see.

Well i just verified...i do need a 4x114.3 bolt pattern so the Escort wheels won't fit.

Same bolt pattern as the Honda Accord and Prelude.

David... find some old Slotted aluminum mags like I did for my Mustang II... They have the slotted holes for different patterns! :lol:

Are they hub centric? They'd have to be for that to work. A lot of the junkyard rims i'm reading about have the wrong size hole in the center but they said because the car is so light you can get away with it.

I'm about to head out to pull and pay and see what i find there.

Oh, btw... I saw the vehicle this weekend formerly known as the "primered wonder" :D

Oh, what about old Ford Tempo wheels?

If you ever need to know your bolt patern, go to tirerack.com and enter your car info like you are looking for wheels. It will say the pattern in the selections of wheels available for your vehicle. That is how I found out the wheels from a 92 prelude will not fit a 99 civic even though they are both 4 lug.

Make your own David, get another set of Festy wheels, cut the centers out & graft them to a set of 13" escort steelies, we did this to a Fiesta years ago, it worked out very nice, just my 2 cents!

Well according to the Festiva forums i browsed through, the hub centric thing isn't a big deal. They even said that the hub centric spacers are a waste of money and really only help with installation. They said to torque the nuts with the wheel off the ground and you're good to go.

I picked up some 13's off a Hyndai Accent. They even have good tires. Unfortunately the rear ones are rubbing the spring perch so i guess i'm gonna try to grind that down some and hope it works.
