whats up? i would like to know if the 08 si wheels would fit on my 98 crv? would i need any spacers or can i just put them on and go? thanks ahead of time

 

yup!!
im using one right now..
youll just have an issue on the front calipers, its
either you use a hubcentric spacers(5mm will be fine)
or grind a liitle bit the face of the calipers in order for
the Si rims to fit..

 

did you have any problems with the spacers? i spoke with someone on this subject and they said it is way better to just grind alittle off the caliper and save the headache of broken studs and balancing problems

 

i did used a hub centric spacers...
but later on decided to just grind the calipers,
i did felt a ltlle shaking on my steering wheel while
doin above 80mph, or its just in my mind..LOL!

well ill just recommend that you grind it off..
ive known couple of V owners that they did
just the same and you wouldnt have to but
the spacers.. ive used mine in a different car
thats why i did grind it later..

heres some pics:







btw, thats a quarter for refference..

HTH!

 

does this goes for every other oem wheel like rsx, tsx, tl type-s?

 

im not sure about that...
well you could test fit it first, then let us know..
its just in Si(FD) rims that got an issue, may be
other rims would fit with out the grinding..

 

Grinding on a critical component like brake calipers is just plain stupid!! Where are your priorities?

I cant believe that someone would actually grind away 1.75mm (.0688") just to get some wheels on the vehicle. You have no idea how that may or may not affect the integrity of the component. Ah hell... it's just your brakes!!

 

what would you recommend?

 

Ahh, get the right wheels

Or

Use a 3mm or larger spacer

 

well i heard spacers are not safe. i have friends that experienced it first hand and also reputable shops that said it themselves so i wanted to find out how v owners fit wheels on.

 

If spacers were not "Safe" they would not be sold to the general public. What's not safe about spacers... is how people use them.

 

use hub centric ones..
then your good!!

 

post up pics when done
