Putting Si's wheels on an LX?

nhatters · 10-04-2007, 10:23 PM

I got some Si wheels today and had them put on my 2006 LX, but it seemed like the front might be rubbing on the brakes? Has anyone had experience doing the same thing? Should it fit on there perfectly? Or do I need to do something?

what you need are 3 mm wheel spacers in order to clear the front brake calipers

What would happen if I continue driving without them? And where can I find the spacers the quickest?

It's your caliper rubbing against the wheel. Not a good thing. You can get spacers at PepBoys tbh. Apparently you can also file down the front brake caliper down a bit too. But, I'd rather go with some aftermarket wheels....

PepBoys it is.

Was doing some reading and someone mentioned you needed different lugnuts? Why is that?
