Default Can 13 inch steelies fit on a 96 lx sedan?

I just bought a 96 LX sedan and want to know if 13 inch steelies will fit and is it ok to run a 13 inch rim on that car? Reason being is that I have 4 13 inch wheels with tires on them that have 90% tread and I would like to use them if it would be ok to do so. Tried to search the topic but only found people asking if they would fit on a EX and mine is a LX without ABS. Thanks guys

Yes DX and LX uses the same brake system. EX you can fit minimum of 14" wheels.

Cool thanks man. I saw that thread you had up there but I just wanted something exactly for my car so I had no doubts. Actually the curb weight for a 96 sedan LX MT is lighter than a 1994 DX sedan MT and the 94 came from the factory with 13's so I believe I'll be ok
