Do you have the dimensions of the wheels you have been offered?

PCD, offset etc?

Hi Jamo9017

Yep those are the very ones !
after a bit of research on the web it seems the offset for these wheels is 43
and the PCD is 114

I love the car but cannot stand the tramlining and ride quality so will ( if I get more feedback that these will fit? ) get these wheels and if no great improvement stick em on EBay !

Well I can say you have taken a good decision.
I have drivin a civic with 17 inch en 16 inch.

I took the 16 inch, it drives much better if you ask me.

I am not sure if smaller wheels will fit round the brake extenders on 17" factory cars (Sport & EX)

There's confusion about this, as you'll see if you click on the thread below.

Honda won't recommend changes to 16'' without vague, unspoken threats about warranty. They claim that steering and braking are affected.

Yet winter tyres are 16" and recommended in some countries.



I choose 16" instead of 17"
