will this rim fit and be safe?
I have 4 92-95 civic VX hatch rims, the ones that are 13 inches. My uncle has bald tires on his 96 Geo Prizm, pretty much a 96 corolla. money is kinda tight for him now so i can lend him the tires for a bit (the tires are still very good). I tried putting one rim on the rear axle, and the lug pattern fits, but the center thing with the hole, the honda rim is a tad bigger than the toyota one, so when i put the rim on theres a bit of clearance in the middle, so the only thing keeping the rim centered is the lugnuts.
just wondering if its safe to do so. and please, no flaming me on having a Geo on a honda fourm. im just trying to help a relative out. thanks!

Yep. Center hubs. I've had that same problem with so many different 4 bolt
pattern wheels. Should be fine, man. It's the opposite that gets dangerous -
when people try stupidly squeezing a wheel with, say, a 2" hub onto a car
with 2 1/4" without grinding or filing the hole out on the wheel to fit.

It'll be fine, just make sure the wheel is centered and flat (push it up against the hub when you put the lugs on) because you don't have the hub to do that for you.

It'll be cool, I had the same problem with my 240sx, juss make sure the rim is flush against the hub when you tighten the lug nuts...
