alloys ser 5 prelude

Post by Prelude402 » Fri Apr 12, 2013 2:03 pm

my 2000 prelude has 4x114pcd and (I believe) 55mm offset and i'm finding it impossible to get 18inch alloys to fit without sticking out of the bodywork. any ideas?

Welcome to LG!!!

4x114? Is your car a 2.0? They are out there, example - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-VOLVO-S40- ... 1e751f3c65

But 18's look too big on Ludes IMO.

Yup; 17"s are the biggest you'll need.

You might want to consider a 5-bolt conversion; loads of Hondas run a +55 offset for steering purity.

As said....17's are better suited to Preludes.
