I'm trying to find the load bearing capacity of Insight (14x5.5) wheels. I'm thinking about putting a set on my Prelude and I don't want to destroy them with too much car. I've looked all over google but I can't find any specs like this. Can anyone help?

Also- what's the offset? Is the bolt circle 4x114.3 (4x4.5")?

Thanks

The bolt pattern is 4x100. I beleive that the stock offset is 38mm, but not exaclty for sure. For how rare the Insight wheels are to find, they might not be cost effective to use, you might be better off going with some aftermarket wheels instead. If you find some Insight wheels for a good price, let me know (I want an extra set to use for a set of race tires - AutoX). Keep in mind that they are designed for the Insight which has a curb weight of ~1900 lbs.

 

Wrong bolt pattern. Oh well. Yeah, I know a guy selling a set for $350 ($450 with Kumho DOT race tires). Bay area. Want the hookup?

how much do the weigh

 

with my mods so far i can see where i may need to go up to 14" and LLR tires to improve the gearing.. as of now it so easly drives at hiway speeds with its stock 13" 165's, once there worn out ill go to 155's but there is only like .08 difference in size on those.. not much or a end gearing difference.. the next logical step would be a bigger rim.. well see what the areo mods bring, the latest mode made a pretty big difference on the vacuum gauge, I was expecting very little change..

the one other thing i saw is some one found 135-13's but didnt see the over all tire height.. if there the same as the stock 165-70's that would provide the biggest improvemnt in MPG.. its been well documented that tire width makes a big impace.. however can cause some negative handling problems if the cars to heavy for the tire size, but considering I'm in a CRX thats the weight of a geo and they had those little 12" tires i thing i could pull off 135's safely.

 

Thanks all for contributing to this thread. Lots to read in this forum but I like it.

 

12lbs a piece, plus 13lbs for the OE tire.

 

what is the largest size rims can be fit on the Insight without any mod???
