Tires & Rims for a 2002 Civic EX-what fits ?
Tires & Rims for a 2002 Civic EX-what fits ?
Hi
I bought a 2002 EX that has 17 inch MSR Rims with Ziex ZE-912 tires with 4- 7 spline lugs on it. I hate hate hate the way it drives and I want to go back to stock rims and tires- I really don't care about my car being tricked out, I would rather it drive smooth without feeling every pebble in the road. Call me Grandma. The original wheels,tires etc are long gone and now I have to find a way to revert back. I just want to get back to the basic design of the car. Which wheels and tires will fit- can I put any 15 inch alloy or steel wheel and slap a hubcap on it. Do Alloy wheels need hubcaps ? Will accord rims and hubcaps fit. I am trying to weigh my options, It doesn't matter to me if it is the wheels the car was born with just that they function the same way. Please help ! !! I don't have a a lot of $$ so I am trying to figure out how to fix this.
Thanks

pretty much any 4x100 bolt pattern wheel will fit. if you get aftermarket or alloy rims, they dont need hubcaps cause they already look nice. if you decide to go back to oem style rims, you need to change the lugnuts. aftermarket wheel takes a different type of lugnut.

yeah, clist will def be a good option. or find some guy with a stock 7th gen and ask em to trade, lol. I have my stock hubs that I would trade you if you would be willing to ship, I could even ship first if I can get some rubber on my new 17's. My OEM's have good Toyo rubber on the rears and the tread is fadding in the front but its not bad at all. PM me if you are interested!

stock tire size blows, if you go 15" go 205/50zr15, youll get good traction and handling with a nice tire that doesnt look like its a truck tire
