Swapping Hybrid Rims for Si Rims (Spacer Size)

Aikidokhan · 07-10-2007, 10:58 AM

Hey all... I just purchased an '07 Civic Hybrid and I have a few questions:

Does anyone know what size spacer, if any, I will need to replace my hybrid rims with my brother in law's Si rims?

Also, will the mpg loss be that great?

Should I put the rolling resistance tires on the rims, or will it matter much?

Thanks in advance.

You'll lose some mpg, but in comparison to any other civic you'll still be blowing us off the map. As far as spacers go I don't really know.

I figured I would lose some, but I sold my 07 Eclipse to get this so I could get better gas mileage :)

I drive 98 miles round trip and I carpool with my wife... so I don't want to lose too much :)

3mm spacers on front to clear the brake calipers.
