195/60/13 should fit a 94 Justy easily, right? I dented 2 rims, I NEED new wheels ASAP( deliver pizza ). Having a tough time finding anything. Someone please confirm these wheels/tires will fit

No, a boxer will not fit in a Justy.

195/60/13 should fit a 94 Justy easily, right? I dented 2 rims, I NEED new wheels ASAP( deliver pizza ). Having a tough time finding anything. Someone please confirm these wheels/tires will fit Yes, those should be just about a half inch smaller than the maximum diameter you can get away with but there will be some consequence for it that you should be warned of. Firstly, those tires are quite a bit heavier than standard and will hurt your acceleration and gas mileage a little, especially if you are a burn-rubber-mostly-3rd-gear-pizza-driver! Also the awesome cornering speeds that these tires will enable could cause oil starvation on hard right hand turns and you would need to check your oil level every other day and keep it all the way full as a religion. The two things that kill more Justys are oil neglect and altering the wiring & electrical. I might suggest a lighter and less expensive tire in the sizes 175/70R13 or 165/65R13. You should be able to find one or both of these easily and with a decent selection from which to choose. Not as buff but plenty capable, lighter, cheaper and good for able to fit a stock Justy wheel.

Haha, I'm mostly in 4th gear in the Justy. Preferably I'd go with 175/70R13, but I can't find any used ones. These wheels are only around $200 for all 4 and apparently have 90% tread, and a nice mesh pattern rim that will make the Justy look good. I'll probably be selling the Justy(and my JDM Impreza) in the new year to buy a 555 STi, hopefully I can find a cheap first gen Justy aswell and put my spare MPFI engine in it. So right now I just need something that will work.
Thanks for the confirmation and warnings!

One more warning: those wheels have to have a center bore of at least 59mm or else they won't fit. Also if they're from a Honda or VW then you will have to do some intensive parts gathering and modifying of your hubs & studs to use them on your Justy. . . better to just not use Honda/VW wheels in that case, too much time and hassle! (PM me for details about that weirdness with wheels)
Also, I would recommend getting a Gen2 not a Gen1 if you have the choice. Thicker sheet metal and more common parts means you'll be better off for now and in the future.
Just my $.02

They're were on a Honda, they fit on the back without modifying. How ever it appears I will have to do some modifications to make them fit on the front. They look really good on the Justy, with them on the back and regular ones on the from it reminds me of a drag car, and that makes me chuckle because its a Justy.

It turns out they are actually 185/70R13. Its a squeeze.

Hold up, that's not gonna work. You've got three problems already. - #1 the center bores are too small and need to be enlarged (but you already discovered that)
- #2 those 185/70R13 tires are too big and will cause big problems, don't even bother.
- #3 like I said before, VW and Honda/Acura wheels are a no-go for Justys unless you are prepared to do some modifying and we're not talking about the kind of thing you can do in a day. Most German cars and Honda/Acura use wheels with spherical ball seats instead of the usual 60-cone type seats found on most wheels. That means your Justy lugnuts are incorrect for those wheels!
There are three ways to solve this. You can either have the wheels machined to have conical seats, or you can use Honda lugnuts or you can use different wheels. The problem with using Honda lugnuts is that they don't fit Justys! You have to remove your hubs and drums and fit them with different studs. I did a detailed write up on it with pictures. click here Scroll down to the twelfth post and pay attention. Disclaimer: if these are not genuine Honda wheels and are aftermarket or from another make that uses conical seats then none of this matters. If the wheels do not say Honda anywhere on them then please consult a local wheel and tire expert to be sure, it's free.
