I'm looking at a set of Enkei OR52 wheels I can get for a great price new. They are 4 lug. 18"by 7.5" 4 x100 bolt pattern fits hondas acuras & other
4 lug vehicles no tires

Thats what he says for the bolt pattern.

I'm trying to put them on my 96 Accord EX 4 cyl.

They look universal to me. Are they? Will the work?

 

did you contact the seller to ask them if they are universal and if so what is the other bolt pattern?

They look universal but I would double check before buying.

I would also ask what the offset is.

I assume you'll be going with a 225/35/18 or so to keep the overall diameter the same?

 

It's hard to tell if they are universal 4 . The lug patter for 94-97 accords are 4X114. Hope that helps..

 

Ok I just sent him another email asking him that. I haven't heard back from the first email yet though.

I'm not sure what size tires I will be running. I will go check in a minute. I bought a set of 18"s off a buddy and put new Toyo tires on it of the same size he had. I think they might have been a tiny bit smaller than stock. I don't know if they were or not as I have slightly larger than stock tires on there now.

Anyways I hit a pothole a week after I put them on and it broke 2 of the wheels. I hate to throw away tires that are a week old. I hope the 2 of them didn't bust a chord or something but I can't check until I get a wheel to put them on. I've talked to several people that said they don't think it would have.

I'm not super crazy about the look of these wheels but they aren't bad and the price is right. The ones I really want are around double the cost of these so I am thinking maybe these would be good to throw on there.

 

ouch, thats exactly why I stay away from large rims like that. Not enough tire to protect the rim in a situation like that. The streets around here aren't that great depending on where you are so I stay with something that still has enough tire. In this situation I would probably stay with something that's a little larger than stock than something thats smaller than stock, unless rubbing comes into play.

IMO, if you hit a pot hole hard enough to break 2 rims, chances are the tires that were on there are damaged as well.

I'm kind of wondering if the tires are damaged to but it seems like when I ask around people seem to think they won't have been do idk. I'm hoping they are not but they might have been.

I agree though if I didn't have these tires I probably wouldn't want 18"s again.

 

Edge racing does have them really cheap. Anyone ordered from them before? How are they? I am going to have to check on shipping but they are about $100 cheaper before shipping than where I can get them. The price I Found them forsale for was about half the price of other places but I didn't know about Edge Racing.

Is the 4x114.3 the bolt pattern I want? Also does edge racing give you the centercaps and lugs? The seller I found does but I really only need the center caps as I already have lugs.

 

yeah, I understand that. You could sell the tires and get something different.

A friend had 17's on his 94 Accord (bought it that way) put new tires on and within a month or so hit a pot hole. Broke one rim and screwed up the tire, bent another rim but it still held air. Sold the set of three rims/tires and he went back to OEM 15" rims. He liked the look of the 17's but preferred the ride of the 15's.

 

Where did the post about Edge racing having them cheap go? I also noticed it says they have less than 4 instock.

looked like spam so I removed it. Not like you were asking for where to buy the rims, you were asking if they would fit.

 

Thats how I am I have the factory 15"s on there now they just look horrible but they ride better and hold up a lot better.

I don't like the look of them and I kind of want to run a big brake kit I found for sale but it won't work with 15"s thats why I figured maybe it was a good time to use my tires I had. I might try to sell them though. That might be a better option.

 

Ok thanks. Thats fine with me I was just curious. They do have them cheaper than I could get them so it was helpful but then again they don't have them in stock.
