I am recently a new owner of a 93 prelude vtec. I have been wanting to put a set of 96 itr rims on my prelude but i want to know if any mods are needed to install the rims...i heard i might need spacers and new wheel studs...if someone knows for sure exactly what is needed if anything please let me know...i have a set lined up but i want some more info before i buy them..thanks

 

im pretty sure its a direct swap.. stock prelude wheels are +55 offset and itr wheels are +50 if i remember correctly. what else...itr wheels are 6 inch wide and prelude wheels are 6.5 inches wide i think. thats the only difference. someone correct me if im wrong.

 

The ITR rims are 6.5 wide. I own a set of them. You need to find the JDM ITR rims though because those are 4x114.3. All the USDM ones are 5 bolt. They are decent rims and look pretty good as well.

 

do the jdm itr rims use tappered lugs or the acorn ones??

 

ya i am getting the 96 spec itr rims like you mentioned.....so it should be a bolt on and go affair? i dont have to worry about rubbing the calipers or anything? i am asking because i'd rather ask a dumb question then make a dumb mistake lol...sry i know its probably been covered a hundred times already but i looked and couldn't find exact answers. thanks in advance for any help

 

I forgot to mention you will need 5mm spacers in the front to clear the calipers.

 

do i need extended wheel studs too or will stock be ok

 

A 5mm spacer is fine on stock studs but any bigger and wheel studs are a must. Although it can never hurt to get extended studs anyway while your at it for insurance.

 

anybody know what kind of lugs these use???

 

As said above, stock studs are fine, stock lugs are fine.

 

Thx for the info fellas....im going to be using the 5mm spacer on stock studs for now.
One last question...do i need the spacers for the front only or do i need front and rear???

 

no just for the front you need 5mm spacers you'll be alright in the rear

 

Quick question...ive been looking for 5mm spacers and i was wondering what you guys recommend??? something cheap like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAIR-...Q5fAccessories


Or some H&R or Eibach for $65+

 

I was just rocking a set of ebay spacers.
