im looking to get the 18" HFP rims for my Lx. I know they sit on 16's rite now and im wondering if i need to do any mods i.e. HFP suspension, spacers.. ive heard stuff about those but thats it...

any help would be great!!

 

the Si rims have the exact same bolt pattern as the other models, so they bolt on exactly like your stock Hubs. you might see a lil bit of height difference tho

(or 2dr if appicable)

the 18's are listed as "si only" but will work as well.

 

Bingo

 

I put my SI rims on my wifes LX and the brake calipers rubbed against the wheels, We had to shave them down a little to make them not rub any more.

 

Are you talking about the 17's that the Si came with bc im talking about the 18" HFP ones..

Our dealer put 5 sets of SI wheels on EX and LX models and never had any rubbing issues. I even have a set on my EX coupe. In any case, like was said they are talking about the HFP wheels not the stock wheels.

 

Thats weird. Wonder what cold have caused my SI rims to rub on her car?

 

We have done a few, they all rubbed until we ran them around the block 2 times... literally... 2 times around the block and they rubbed the little bit extra off.

 

Why would Si wheels rub on an Lx? aren't the Si calipers larger?

 

SI

 

lol ok..

so what im getting from this is, buy the 18's put them on the new tires and everything will work out on the car. AND if there is rubbing it will go away by itself.

CORRECT??

offset. has nothing to do with caliper size

I'm getting a Black FG2 and wanted the 18s that are this color. I've even TEST DRIVEN one with 18's this color (carbon bronze??) but i've seen a few pics where the wheels look silver. Have the new 18's changed? What gives?!?!

I was under the impression that all of the 8th gen civics used the same +45 offset just as all the previous civics did, at least to my knowledge. I was surprised to see people saying that the Si rims would rub on a non-Si.
