E30 4x100 wheels on cars with 56.1hub ring

[royalflush313]

I'm talking about stock E30 steelies, bottlecaps, or basketweaves, can they be mounted on cars that require 56.1hub ring size, eg. Civics?
thanks

yes, i dont know if they make a 1mm hub centering rings, or if its even necessary

Yah I didn't think they made such thing. I would imagine that they would fit without any problems, but I wanted to make sure.
I have steelies with winter tires taking up space in the garage that I wanna sell off, and the biggest market is the civic owners and the like.

I'd be worried about the 15-20mm backspacing difference...

what are they? 35mm?

yah i believe so. I would think that 35mm would be fine for fwd car, no?

i know VW can use that, not positive about hondas

My friend has an Civic EK (With a Type R motor, straight trade for his previous EG Civic, serious), and he has ET35 wheels on it, he says no problems there.

Alright...so wheels go one way and not the other? BMW -> Honda but not the other way around?

I've been told I would need to run 15 or 20 mil spacers with rims off a FWD honda

does rim width play a big part in this? (7" vs 6" or whatever)

Most Civic wheels have a +41 offset so a +35 bottlecap would fit fine.

and the hub ring difference is so minimal, that it doesnt matter does it?

Yeah, whatever small difference there is would be taken care of by the lugs.

okay, awesome.

Thanks.

Yeah, narrow stock wheels can have lower offsets, think about it.

I saw baskets on a late-80's prelude this summer. Looked pretty damn aggressive.
