Would stock RSX wheels fit on a 1998 Honda Prelude non-sh or is it like the S2k where only the fronts

 

Nope... friend tried it, and tore up his calipers in the front.

 

whatever youre smoking i want some.

buddy of mine had them on his prelude, for a second, they fit fine. when i saw them in a picture

and the reason you only use the fronts from the S2K is because its RWD, and the rear wheels are wider. and RSX wouldnt have wider rear wheels

Email me later and I'll let you know what I'm smoking!

Well, that's my story and I'm sticking with what I've seen with my own eyes!!! The rims fit on perfectly, but needless to say he ran across another problem after a week of driving. Do it at your own risk

 

well, i just talked to one of the guys who knows for sure,and he said there was a large enough gap that they would fit perfectly fine

 

i guess ill put them on just to see how it loks to me thanks

 

i had rsx wheels on my old lude and theey fit fine. THey were really close to the caliper but never touched.

Yes, once he put them on the calipers almost touched the rims, and the one day he is calling me to come pick him up becuase he had his car towed to a shop because his brake calipers were ripped off. I'll get picture this weekend of the rims that have the marks on them from hitting the calipers.

 

my calipers are close.

 

i know in my friends 4th gen his 1993 his stock wheels are really close to the caliper

awhile now. dont remember the exact date.

legend calipes w/ stock 93 wheels. guess im not too worried

 

i had mine on for about 6 months. Never had a problem with them

 

and yours is also 16"

 

what are you talking about? The rsx and prelude wheels are 16". What are you getting at.

 

i heard you have to shave the caliper to get more clearance so it doesnt hit the wheel.

 

Buy 20"s and call it a day.

Unless anyone has HAND-ON experience with this topic WITH pictures to back it up... please do not respond.

 

how did it rip off the calipers? i've had a bolt back out on mine and the caliper just drug against the inside of the wheel when i braked. left a nice little etching inside the wheel.

 

look... there is no reason a wheel would rip the caliper off, if the wheel was perfectly round... or the like, and there was enough room with no rubbing... it would not rip the caliper off. Trust me, I have reason to post.
The only reason the caliper would rip off:
- the caliper was NOT bolted to the knuckle correctly
- the caliper bracket was actually loose
- the wheel became bent so badly that it struck the caliper
- the rim was impacted by something so badly it moved the hub of the wheel, not the knuckle, thus causing the wheel to hit the caliper...
