Bolt Pattern Question
I know every civic from 80 till now has a 4 X 100 bolt pattern (except the newer ep3's). I'm looking at some rims on website's and some have bolt pattern's like
4 X 4.5/ 4 X100. Ok, I understand the 4X100 part, but what kind of car uses 4X4.5??
Can someone explain to me what the 100 and 4.5 mean in the bolt pattern.

they're crossing units. 100 is 100mm. The box that's made by the 4 lug holes is 100 mm on a side. 4.5" is the same as 114.3, and its the same measurement method.
