Wheel size.

What size steel wheels will fit my 02 civic ex? I'm searching on eBay but it keeps telling me they're not compatible. What size are compatible?
Btw, I'm searching for 15 inches.

Re: Wheel size.

A few important things come to mind.

Offset and bolt pattern. You should be 4x100 bolt pattern and civics generally run 35-42 offset. You want to make sure your new wheels fit those specifications if you want to keep your OEM look. Wheel width is important too you want to stick with 6" if you plan on running 185 or 195s.

Hope this helps.

15 x 6 is the correct size.
4x100 bolt pattern

make sure if you are not ordering OEM rims that you get hubcentric rims. nothing worse then installing aftermarket rims and finding out that they vibrate at high speeds.

Re: Wheel size.

Hey Guys , Not sure how to start a new thread but gonna add to this one. I have a 2008 Honda Civic SI with abt 60k. I noticed yesterday when I was checking tires, that the tire shop put new tires on the back abt 6 months ago and they are 225/45 R17 and my front ones are 215/45 R17. Is this normal. I do know when I first went to crank car after getting new tires back then. The car did not wanna start and had to power to the car. Something had disabled the car and had to go home with another ride and get master key and see If that helped. By the time I got back. I first tried my original key and nothing, the master started the car. SO Weird. So I wonder if this hurts my car and does it matter if it went from 215 to 225. I go today to get the front replaced and told him to match the back. I wish I knew weather to tell him to go back to the original 215. What is the Difference gonna make from 215 to 225 . Thanks for any help.
Nathan
