I picked up a set of Miata rims (kinda like Panasports) and need to bore out the center hub area but I dont know exactly what to bore it out to. I have seen that they are 53mm and need to go about 56mm to fit the civic hub, is this correct? Any DIY'ers, what did you use to do this?

 

Yeah i had t do the same thing, i really didnt mesaure anything u just take the air grinding tool, and just take out whole bunch, not too much, put it on the car and see how it fits, wheel should align perfectly with caliper, and when you tighten the lug nuts it shouldnt move side to side. hope this helps!

nice! smokinsax is putting his miata rims on his '87 civic, so hopefully it will look as good as yours. we picked them up for 80 bucks WITH tires!

 

hahaha thst'd cool ehst do you guys think i spray paint mine flat black, i have a barbados yellow crx!

 

$80 is a good deal. Just remember to drill out the center hole a little bit so the wheels are mounted properly. I just used a hole saw on my hand drill and went at it. Took less than 30 minutes to do all four.
