Novice needs help with wheels on 08 LX

newspaperboy · 06-01-2008, 01:45 PM

Guys, here is the link to the wheels I want to buy for my car Click here.

I am clueless as to which one I need to buy, though. As far as spacing issues, etc.

Also, I would probably want to lower the car if I get these wheels. Is that a tough thing to do, and what do I need to buy to get that done?

Sorry for all the dumb questions, but I Really have no one to guide me through this.

thanks

Does the LX have 5 lugs? I'm not sure because I have an Si. With the Si the stock wheel is 17x7 (you can definitely use the Rota 17x7.5), and the bolt pattern is 5x 114.3. Also the stock offset is +45.

Lowering is easy. All you need are springs. Depending on how agressive a drop you go with, it's advisable to get a rear camber kit, and some front camber bolts so you don't wear your tires out prematurely.

You need to get the last wheels on that page, 5x114.3 is the bolt battern for SI and LX,EX,DX. You can get lowered by springs, coilovers, or HFP(Honda sport syspension) it drops your car about 1 inch and our sponsor college hills honda is selling them for around $600 for non Si models!
