I have a 1996 DX coupe and a set of VX wheels. The stock wheels on the DX are 13", so I figured the VXs would work. I put them on and drove the car. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I thought maybe I felt something rubbing. I didn't really hear anything, though, as far as rubbing noise.

Does anyone here know for certain whether these wheels will work on this car? The car is completely stock. If anyone has a stock DX, and they've been rolling VXs, chime in.


Thanks.

As far as I know and from my experience so far you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I asked the same question in the wheel and tire section a couple of weeks ago because I was worried about if VX wheels would clear the calipers and I was told that it was no problem. They fit and clear CX and DX calipers on 96 Civics, but they will not fit on EX brakes which have bigger calipers. I put my VX wheels on my 96 CX last week, put aprox. 1000 kms so far no problem. I definitely wouldn't worry about any rubbing as long as you have the stock size 175/70r13 tires.

 

Thanks man. I'll put them on!

Can anyone else confirm this? Anyone have pics of an EK with VX wheels on it?

 

Here's the link for the thread I started in the wheel and tire section a couple of weeks ago: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2033348, there is a picture in the fifth post. I don't think you need to worry at all, trust me I've had them on since wednesday and I deliver Pizza for Domino's with my car. I just worked Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So far no rubbing has occured, the wheels haven't fallen off, and most importantly my customers got their pizza and stuff fresh+ontime
