Default will 13" steelies fit on a 98 ex coupe

basically what the title says. i am probably getting a ex soon and i have some 13" steelies laying around, just wondering if i can put some snow tires on them and mount them or if i need to hunt down some 14".

I belive you need the 14" IF the car dident originally come with the smaller wheels I dont belive they will fit but I am not 100% on this. I just remember looking for some wheels for a friend and not having them work.

My 98 DX hatch came with 14s but I use 13s and they work fine.

Only one real way to know: jack the car and try to put on one of those 13s on the front. If the rim fits, wear it. you should be able to know instantly if it will work or not

cheers!

DX/CX civics have smaller brakes than their EX/SI counterparts. If you feel adventerous, then try and see for yourself.
