Yeah, if you don't use centering rings with a larger bore you'll have problems.


You also act like offset is some huge deal. Seriously? I've run wheels from ET32 to ET45 on the Rabbit and had no problems. You just have to check what the stock offset is, which should be printed on the backside of the wheel.

My Civic HX wheels are ET45, so obviously that is OEM (anything lower such as ET35 should be fine too). I haven't seen many wheels with any higher offset than that. As long as they clear the brakes, there's nothing to worry about.
