  • Another "Will these wheels work" post...

    Sorry to be a pain, curious if anyone has any idea about these wheels? I'm sure the rear is going to require a bit of massaging to get them to fit but I am still interested. Apparently they weigh around 12lbs each. (Acura Integra JDM ITR 96 Spec Wheels)

    I believe someone has the Civic version of these on their Festiva. Not sure about these though.
    Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

      Fronts will be no prob; rears depend on the wheel's offset, of course. The tires are 1.6" wider than 155s, therefore they are .8" closer to the strut. Also, they are 1.7" taller than 155/80x12s, so .85" higher at the lower rear spring perch. Might need spacers on the rear, but no biggie.

        Diameter: 15"
        Width: 6"
        Offset: +50mm.

        Thanks TominMO. Just looked up the offset... looks like fender flares may be absolutely required!

          But probably not spacers to clear the rear strut.

            +50 on a 6 inche wide wheel will be close to the strut not quarter and fender. My +40 and 5 inch wide wheels are really close o the rear struts.

              You'll need 20mm spacers and you'll want to run a different tire size. I'd run 165/45 15 tires.

                Or forget the spacers and do Charlie's cheap coilover setup.

                  You'll still need spacers, but that's not a bad idea. Those are awesome wheels BTW, they are forged Enkei and worth much more than the asking price, except the accord/prelude lug pattern makes them hard to sell. A score for a Festy or BF Mazda guy (or gal)

                    Right, my bad, I was thinking backwards. The greater the + offset, the closer in the wheel is.
