Default trick question!

would anyone happen to know how to fit Si rims to a 92 accord... i dont belive they match up (theres still 4 bolts, but the spacings diffrent) would the bolt on spacer kind be safe? if not what could i use to make the lugs fit? is there a conversion kit? (iv tryed looking, but nothing) its really eating me b/c i have a little thing for the Si rims...

There is a guy selling some rims that are just like the Si rims, but they have the 114.3 spacing for Accords...

Civic Si? Prelude Si? Care to give a little more details?

If your refering to Prelude Si which are 4x114.3, just put them on there. Make sure you don't use to wide of a tire or you'll rub while turning the wheel to full lock position.

If your refering to 99-00 Civic Si or 02-05 Civic Si, those are 4x100 and won't fit. You could probably try having some shop redrill them to 4x114.3 like universal 4 bolt rims but I don't think that would be a wise idea. I don't know about the bolt on spacers. Do they even make one that would fit in this application. I would stay away from those though because that just pushes your rims further towards the lip of the fender. As for switching the hubs to a 4x100 bolt pattern, I don't know of any parts or company making a kit to give you those results.

I would have to say it's probably best to just stick with a rim thats 4x114.3

edit:
also, next time please make a thread title that actually describes whats being discussed inside the thread, that way it is search friendly so others can find it later if needed

my appolig... it was late, i was frustraited about a suspension install, half alseep by the time i got home, and wasnt thinking strait...

i am actully refuring to the 99-00 civic si rims, i wont settle for replicas, im very adimat about buying gunuine products, but even more so when it comes to doing things right... too manny auto-zone, and strause tunners out there!

i was really questioning wether or not it was even safe to use the spacer/convrsions that you would bolt onto the hubs, seems to me like thats a bad day waiting to happen, so iv pretty much rulled that out all together... i honestly didnt think it would be a practical modification to do to a cb, or cd; however it was a question that was brought up over dinner w/ some friends, and nobody could really come up with a strait forward answer...

im thinking more along the lines of the 95 accord rims (i belive) they have the similure cut to them, and would make my life alot easier, and cost alot less...

thank you for the insight though!

Yes, the 94-95 EX rims have a similar look but deffinately different. They are light and would work great on your Accord. I would agree with that choice.
