No. But why don't you go ahead and try it? Report back. Probably take you all of 10 minutes.

Cause if I don't have money for rims I don't know if it will cause damages to my lugs rotors or steelies I just figured someone may have asked this or known this from a previous topic. I'm sorry if its a dumb question I just thought I'd ask

What happened to the Honda pioneers that just went out and did things without asking if they could? I miss those days.

Hope you never have a flat.

Come on guys. I know how to do it I used to race and lost my license for 2 years and just recently got this car. I still have to get tools and stuff..I used to live in jersey but now I'm in Delaware and don't know anyone to borrow tools or jacks from..I'd just try it if I could ..I guess none of you have heard of that probably cause its impossible huh?

What are you rambling about? I searched. Actually I searched FOR you. I didn't see anyone that had done it so I couldn't answer your question.

I suggested that you just go ahead and try it and excuses started flying. I guess it's too hard to wait until the next time you get to Jersey to attempt it because it's impossible huh? No one said you didn't know how to do it. Don't see where that was even hinted at. No one said that you had to run out and try it RIGHT NOW either.

Again, without those tools I hope you don't ever have a flat.

Too hard to go to jersey!? Uhh yea if you seen my only other post saying I have a blown head gasket I think it would be a little tough don't you...and I only asked to see if it was done already an me not having tools isn't a excuse I just really don't have any..so next time before you help someone let's not be so sarcastic with remarks like" go ahead and try" when you have no information on if it will work .. I really don't understand why you all get so frustrated with noobs. I was always told the only dumb question is a unasked one so I asked if it can't be done than so b it..and I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants to know this answer I'm just the only one that asked on here I guess

Sarcastic? If I were in your position I would have tried it myself and not wasted time by trying to start a thread. So where's the sarcasm?

Asking questions like "I wonder what would happen if...?" are just wastes of time if you are only waiting for someone else to do it first. You'll never catch me asking these kinds of questions. Did you research? I did. No one has done it without cutting and welding.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything but you all have to admit...the purpose of this forum is to get info before trying if your a noob...before doing anything you should have at least basic knowledge of what your doing and what it effects and since I don't have either when it comes to reversing steelies I thought I'd ask

I guess if you think you need to research the effect of flipping a steelie around on a hub to just test fitment, not even trying to drive on it mind you, to the point that it requires something akin to a scientific inquiry then I don't know what to tell you.

I think I've already said that the only thing that was done even close to that involved cutting and welding. Found that on Google.

I thought this forum was to ask questions so I asked...my research said the back will fit with the drum brakes but the front won't clear the caliper as I've been doing my own forum hopping ...so now the question is if its drivable...yes I'm being cheap cause I don't have the money for rims only looking to see if someone else has drove on them like that

people treat noobs like **** cause they don't ever use a search. if you woulda searched you woulda typed that info in your last post on your first post. asking to flip a steelie inside out is completely stupid, the inside is a lot different than the face. why don't you worry about your head gasket first instead of trying to get your gay *** steelies to mexi poke.

First of all if my post was so dumb why waste your time replying with useless feedback..a whole paragraph of pointless already answered info..if your car is better off than congrats but we all have to start somewhere..an it's not the head gasket so before you rag on my posts read them in full..idiots like you should keep their thoughts to themselves..why not try helping someone instead of trying to down someone for a question we all wanted to ask but dipsh!ts like you keep them from asking..call me dumb say whatever at least this question was answered for a lot of people...and if it was that stupid why would you click on it...plz don't spam my posts again with your idiotic negativity..if you have no useful info than plz skip the post it's not that serious so ill kindly ask you to stfu thanks!! sincerely the noob!!

And if you'd stop trying to make yourself look like such an a$$ and do your own research you'd know that the rear would work but not the front...mexi poke or not it was an idea so I asked
