ok so i put on my si wheels on my ex and my front callipers are touching the rims i didnt think i would need spacers for them and the wheels are mounted on there right. anyone no why they are rubbing??

 

Damm no one in here has had this problem with putting si rims on the EX?? how bout does anyone no if its bad to use spacers? i herd sometimes the lug nuts get lose?

 

you'll need to get extended lugs. but aftermarket lugs are not supposed to be use on OEM rims

 

im useing the same lugz that came on my ex, you think that could be why? i think the si lugz are a lil bigger

 

extended lugs? wtf. you need wheels spacers so you can clear the caliper.

 

thats weird. we put si rims on a friends ex and it was as simple as pie. this was a sedan.

 

does each wheel go in a certain spot? im about to put the back ones in the front and see if that changes anthing

 

naw. thats how you can do a tire rotation. they are all the same.

now. sometimes your rear tires may need more/less tire pressure than the fronts, and vice versa. but the wheels themselves have no difference from each other.

 

damm!! i dunno why i had this problem i called a buddy of mine that woks in the service department and he said that the caliper in the si is a defferent size, but i no a kid who also did the samething and he had no problem. i dont no wut year civic the rims i got came from but i tought they are all the same for like 06 to 08. im just worried that with the spacers on that the lugz will start to get lose.

 

how much did you buy the rims for?

 

i payed $400 but then i also put brand new tires on them

 

how much for just the rims?

 

i payed $400 for them, i decided to put new tires on them after i bought them

 

i had a similar issue with my old si wheels. my friend has an lx 2 dr and his were very close. they were almost rubbing as well. he has had them on for 3 months now, with no ill effects.

 

did you have to put spacers on? wut about your friend did he need them to?
