rim size

OK...so I know squat and I am about to prove it:

I have a 2000 civic ex and want to put wheels from a 1990 Toyota Corolla on it:

model-----------CIVIC, EX ----------- COROLLA
year -------------- 89-on ----------- 88-96
oe size ----------- 14 X 5 ----------- 13 X 5
bolt -------------- 4X100 ----------- 4X100
lug nut ----------- 12mmX1.5 ----- 12mmX1.5
cb ------------------- 56.1 ----------- 54.1
et ------------------- H ----------------- H

I noticed that the OE is an inch difference so I am thinking the answer is "no" but came here to get an informed answer. thanks for reading.

Mike

Wow, the guys who replied are just full of useful information. If you were not going to answer the question then you should not have posted. You two were/are totally useless.

Can someone give me a hand?

Re: rim size

If its available then why not put them on and see if they fit???

My guess is you would be okay. Take a look at the disks/calipers on your brakes compared to your 14 in rims. If there is a good amount of clearance then 13 inchers will fit.

Re: rim size

You should be okay on the speedo because you will be going slower than what it says. Wont get a speeding ticket or anything (is that even possible in a civic???)
