Default Will wheels from a del Sol fit on a 97 Accord?

I used to own a 93 del Sol and still have a set of 15" Fittipaldi wheels w/ 195/50 15 tires. Just bought a 97 Accord w/ stock 14" wheels. Will the 15" wheels fit? Correct back-spacing? Bolt pattern?

Thanks,

Bryan

If the Fittipaldi wheels have a universal 4 lug bolt pattern, then it'll probably fit. If not, it won't. The delsols/civics have a 4x100 bolt pattern while the accord has a 4x114.3 bolt pattern.

Since 1990 the accord lug pattern has been 4x114.3 (at least for the 4 cyl models), so they definitely won't fit.

Thanks guys for your quick responses! I guess the Fittipaldi's will have to stay in storage... Is there an adapter available so they'll work?

Thanks,
Bryan

You're better off selling the Fittipaldis and getting new wheels.

while this is true, the wheels might have dual lug patterns, like most aftermarket wheels do. on those wheels, are there 4 lug holes, or 8? if there are 8, then one set of the lug holes will fit on the accord. if there is only 4, then you are SOL.
