Alloys Choice Evo Wheels

butcher · 15th April 2008, 18:42

A lad nearby is selling a set of Mitsi Evo wheels for pretty cheap, they obviously fit this Civic (which they're on at the moment), will they fit my Sedan though? He said they are 114.3 x 5 if that helps?

Oh and what's your opinions would they suit my car...yay or nay?

Thanks

Quick attempt at PS (as you can see I'm not the greatest....)

C'mon, there must be one person who knows if the fitments are the same

That's been the Honda 5 stud fitment for years now so I doubt that the new cars are any different. Is it not cast into the back of your rim somewhere, that way you'd know for sure. Or the technical section of your manual?

Oh and would look awesome imo. Though you will need to lower to pull off the look properly.

Sorry for being Fik, but what should I be looking for on the back of my rim, to compare with the new ones?

Thanks

114.3 x 5 is good.

But, what about the other dimensions - offset, width?

Thanks for the link mate

I've never bought a set of alloys in my life, always used standard til now, so I haven't got a clue what offsets or anything else mean.

I'm going to check them out this weekend, will it be enough for me to simply try one on my car, as in fit it (albeit without rubber) to make sure it doesn't catch the caliper or anything? What else should I look out for when trying it on?

Try asking the seller for the dimensions.

See these 2 pages for more info on wheel dimensions:

Very shinny car

The size and offset of the rim is usually cast into the back of a spoke on the rim itself. Also, check that there are no buckles of kinks otherwise you are screwed. Apart from that should be fine.
