Default Evo rims on a Civic?

Yea i just bought my 2006 Honda Civic LX Sedan and i dont like the rims(hubcaps) on the car. My friend has a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR and is considering buying new rims and selling me his currents rims.

Here is my question: Anybody know if these rims will fit on my car? Or has anybody at least tried it or anything?

All info is welcomed and thanked.

well the lug pattern is the same on the evo and our cars however I would be worried about offset and wheel spacing

This is true.

But it would look HAWT to see though. Especially with an H centercap

offset is higher than your civic so you would need spacers.

bolt is same. In fact bolt for the new STI BBS is the same too FYI

Aight. I'll ask him all these things tomorrow and let you guys know. If I do end up buying the rims off of him, it won't be until about christmas time.

I have a extra set of rims from my 05 STI do you think that they will fit on my wife’s 07 LX when it arrives (1-2 months away).

I also have a extra set of Supra rims that are 5x114 but I don’t think there is anyway a 9.5 in rim with 275 on it is going to fit under a new Civic LOL.

Being a future STi owner and scoobie fanatic: sti/wrx use 5x100 lugs...so the answer is no

one thing that will be different is the hub(bolt pattern and offset are the same, there is a little difference in that the tires on the OE evo's are 235/45/17, whereas the recommended size for the civics are 225/45/17, shouldnt make too much of a difference ). the evo's hub is 67.1 and the honda's are 64.1. u can buy hub rings to make them work at any local tire shop. get ones that go from 67.1-64.1. hope this helps.
