Would these rims fit?

Post by RobMorris » Wed Sep 30, 2015 3:49 pm

Hey guys

Does anyone know for sure if these would fit a a 1989 3rd gen?

195/50/15 tyres on a light weight 9j rim
Stud pattern 4x100 and 4x114 et20

Cheers
My car and I are not to be taken seriously! Its just for fun..

I wouldn't bet on it. For one it'd handle like poop having a 195 stretched over a 9J rim, but you'd most likely have to pull your arches right out of cut them. Definitely cut them if you ran the correct width tyre for a 9J rim.

With that offset you'll probably have rubbing issues on the inside as well, and that's before 4WS (if you have it) even comes into it.

Sorry I didn't read that correctly

I run 225/40 on the back of my accord on a 9J
but thats et34. ET20 is low for a honda. I think your gonna struggle unless you're running massive camber

Put your current wheel spec and your new (or planned new) wheel spec on http://www.willtheyfit.com/ and it will give you lots of useful information
