Relpace 14in wheels with 13in?

[gthrash]

I just bought a used 1998 Civic EX coupe, to replace my 1995 Civic DX sedan, which I'm retiring after 350,000 miles and a blown cylinder. The 95 came with 13inch wheels, which I replaced a few years ago with some nice MB Wheels aftermarket alloy rims. The 98 has 14in wheels with the plastic wheel covers. Can I use the 13in alloys on the 98?

possibly, you could just go try one of the front wheels, that's the only place you'd have a problem...well, that and the tire size...

I don't think it will work. 96-00 EX and Si models have bigger brakes than LX/DX/CX and I believe HX.

The only true way of finding out is trying it.

I fitted a 6th gen OEM wheels on my 7th gen. Looks a bit smaller but it works perfectly fine.

hope this helps.

Just go see man easy as that. Let us know when you figure it out.

Update

Tried it...didn't work. The wheel wouldn't fit over the brake. Now I have to spring for a new set of wheels...oh well.

Thanks for your input!
