Si rims on an LX

Does anybody know if this is just an easy swap?

I know the Si rims are 17 and the LX is 16. Can i just swap them out or do i need a spacer or anything weird?

Thanks
Frank

Si rims

Actually you'll need 3mm spacers in the front, otherwise the Si rims will rub on the caliper. Another way is to shave down the caliper a few millimeters.
Good luck. Lets us know how it turned out.

They work fine on my car... although the calipers are REALLY close to the wheel. Nothing moves down there so it shouldn't be a problem.
