Hey all! I was curious to find out if accord rims would fit my 95 civic ex? I would be getting them for a really good price, but I want to make sure they will fit, they are 15's w/ a four bolt pattern.

 

what year accord?

 

No, different lug pattern. 90+

 

accords wont but tegs will

 

will they will if you buy the spacers that would take your lug pattern from a 4x100 to a 4x114

 

how the heck can a SPACER change ur lugs from a 4x100 to 4x114?

i looked on there website didnt have them on there but they have a ad in the Super street October issue on page 97.

 

I want more info on this. Id love to run accord or CTR rims without a suspension conversion.

 

they dont do a 4x100 to any 5 lug.

 

here im not joking or making **** up. a pic from mag.

 

That's cool. There's a few Accord and 4th gen Prelude rims I wouldn't mind running on my Civic

They have conversion ones, and they also let you run big brake kits without 17" wheels.

 

wouldnt trust that **** IMO

Dunno, it's made by Mackin, not OBX

 

what year accord you talking about? if its a 86-89 then yes if its newer then no

 

after seeing what spacers do to your wheel bearings, i wouldnt trust something of that magnitude. It looks like it pushes the offset so far out just to cover up the existing studs, so the wheel can fit flush with the conversion. Say bye bye to your bearings if you drive on bumpy roads.

 

Most accord rims are ugly, so are accords in general, who cares.

 

I agree, Id rather do a 5 lug conversion ANY day of the average womans menstrual cycle

So having a spcer is bad eh? Cuz my lilttle bro bought some HX rims for his EX and had to get spacer because the caliper/brakes was bigger than the HX. Anyways so spacer is bad in all case or what's up? Got me thinking.

 

a 5mm spacer wont do harm, but a spacer that is wide enought to completely cover the lug nuts is bad. Get it?

 

it puts stress on the hub, the wider the track on your car *front* i think the more your suspension takes a beating when going over bumps. And i wouldnt do a spacer on the HX's, id rather shave the caliper bracket down a few mm's. Also the stress on the wheel studs is added unless you have APR extended studs.

Read up on wheel spacers, i did for months before i was detered from them, NEVER to purchase some in my lifetime.

Same goes for the 4x100 to 4x114, thats even worse, just common sense, put some on your car then tell me what you think? however if you are drag, then its up to you, but a DD and autox, you will be sorry. Wheels are suspension arent something to F around with if you get my drift
