06 Hybrid wheels - Page 2

delsolid · 07-21-2006, 06:13 PM

I tried to put a set of 06 Si wheels/tires on my Hybrid the second day I had the car and they wont fit.

The bolt pattern is the same but the brake calipers interfere with the spokes on the Si rims. I was totally bummed as I was sure they wiould fit, they are both 06 Civics! I guess the regen brakes or somethin on the hybrid pushed the calipers out further than on the normal Civics.

So just take care if you are planning on swapping those ugly ass rims out, Unless the mfg specifically states they will fit a hybrid, they probably wont.

Anyone who wants to trade Hybrid wheels for 97-01 Prelude Non SH wheels pm me.
16 inch.
They fit fine. But the offset is a bit off. And they tuck closer to the hubs than the stock wheels on my Lx.

They are take offs from a Civic EX. They fit fine, and have not seen any fuel economy penalty.

3mm spacers on the front will solve all your problems.
