Hub Bore the same size as older Honda's?

I'm looking at some wheels that are listed for let's say a '90-91 Civic. My main concern is if the hubcentric rings will be the same size as the Fit would use.

Thanks!

Your are really limiting yourself on the selection wheels with 56.1 for hub size. I would recommended that you used a hub centric ring and just go while with the selection. But be concern with the offset +40to+55.

To clarify, the wheels aren't OEM Honda wheels I'm looking at. They are listed on Tire Rack's site under Civic, 15x7 ET38. I plan on running a 195/50/15 as opposed to the 195/55's regardless so all should be well. So, these wheels will come with hubcentric rings for the Civic, I just want to make sure they'll mount up to the Fit.

Pretty sure youll be fine with no centering rings. Not one of my wheels have I ran centering rings.
If the rings dont fit, then youll need to find some that do. If you like the wheels, get them. Dont let centering rings stop you.

+1. torque down the lugs on opposite sides and you should be fine.


our wheels with tapered lugs are LUG CENTRIC by design. the centering
rings are there more for alignment purposes, not so much for actual
hub loading purposes... although sometimes people can eliminate
vibration, it's not a requirement on wheels/tires that are balanced
correctly and true. my current wheels on my FitS are not running
centering rings. no issue.
