Does anyone run 16's on there si I have a set of prelude swirls I wanted to throw on for winter. Didn't know if they would clear calibers or if they need spacers the tire size 205-55-16.

 

I've seen people use them, usually for drag racing. So they should fit.

 

Why don't you just do a test fit? It only takes a few minutes and then you won't have to guess.

Yes, 16's (for the most part) fit fine. However, not ALL 16's will fit and you might as well just throw the rim over your caliper to see if it clears without any obvious issues.

 

Yes they fit and they look like **** I have a pic somewhere I used prelude SH 5 spoke wheels with my snow tires and I have test fitted swirlies as well they both go inside the fender too much. This year I decided to purchase some LX steelies/hubcaps and looks way better mounted on the car.

I will try and find a pic and post it here

 

i have 02 rsx type s 16s on snow tires and they fit like a glove. looks odd but keeps track tires on stock wheels and street tires on street wheels

 

Rsx wheels look way better than prelude wheels on 8th gen civic's

 

I found a pic from last year when I first mounted these on my Si


They do clear calipers

 

Here's 16" rsx Type s on fa5. These fit like a glove; but the wheels that you put on will depend on the depth of the dropcenter and the position of the valvestem. These clear the face of the caliper all day, but the dropcenter is like 1/4" from the top of the caliper. Likewise if the valvestem were inside the lip and not facing outward, it would rip off on the brake.

 

whats the tire size on those 16's?? looks huge

 

205 55 16 General Altimax Arctic. 24.9" OD. it's only about 4/10" taller than OE; but the 235 35 18s i had on the car are 2/10" SHORTER than OE so side by side they look crazy.

 

Great thread. I want to put some 16s for my 10 Si Sedan. Time to go shopping
