I got tired of ashing around for this info and gettin nowhere, so i figured that i'd google it and see what happens. So i came up with this link, but im sure that most of the more seasoned members wont need this. Anyway, its here for those who do.

EDIT: This link doesnt have every single car for H-T purposes (ie Acura Legend). So for the missing cars, feel free to update within the thread as needed. The information that i needed is within the link so I have no real reason at the time to worry about updated info. But, this is for the H-T community, so those that can add, please add.

 

Also... since im still relatively a nOOb, can someone explain to me what "center bore". Havent tried to search yet, but someone can quickly post up. It couldnt hurt to have the definition of a center bore on a thread with the center bore specs of different cars...

 

The wheel's center bore is exactly that, the diameter of the hole in the center of the wheel. On hubcentric cars like Honda's, this diameter matches the flange/snout on the hub. There is typically a chamfer machined on the begining of the bore (from the backside) to match the flared out base of the hub flange. This makes the wheel "hubcentric".

So most of the time this is a non-issue going from OEM Honda wheels to OEM Honda wheels (since they are usually the same for similar bolt patterns). Aftermarket wheels usually have a fairly large center-bore to accomodate multiple manufacturers cars, all you do is adjust the gap with a hub ring with the correct bore.

The only time there is a problem is when the center bore of the wheel is smaller than the diameter of the hub flange. Say like when people use Miata wheels on Honda's, correct bolt pattern & useable offset, but the center bore is too small. Now you have to take the wheel to a machine shop to have the center bore opened up, some people are comfortable with this/some are not. It really comes down to taking to a place that knows what they are doing and have the right equipment.

 

nicely put xrcr6, and good post of the offset link sixxt9, very useful

Both have 5x114.3 bolt patterns.
