  • Need info on wheels before making the purchase

    Hi guys, im still a noob when it comes to wheels, hub bore, offset etc !!!

    Im looking to buy a set of BBS RS to go on my 2010 civic SI !!!

    Im looking at this set:

    BBS Rs324 17x8 et0 5x114.3
    &
    BBS Rs329 17x9 et19 5x114.3

    I know the bolt pattern is correct for my car but the owner bought them to resell so he doesn't know from what car they came from and if they will fit my car

    Ive found a list of all specs for RS wheels but it doesn't seem to be accurate on the offset so I wont use this as a reference !!!

    My question is about the hub size... the hub bore of my civic is 64.1mm (2.52'') and the seller measure the hub of the wheels and he got 2.5'' (63.5mm) ... this might be not accurate since he took it with a measuring tape.

    Im just afraid to buy these and finally find out I cant even use them on my car

    If someone here can help me out with this issue it would be so much appreciate !!!

    Thanks guy...

    Center bore should not be a major concern.
    If it is too small - a machine shop can enlarge it. If it is too large - you can buy a set of hub rings.


    OZ, MSW, ABT, Carlsson, etc 10 point bolt tools info

      Thanks for the reply !!! there was a guy over on my 8thgen forum that said to me if the bore is smaller I wont be able to do anything to fix it and I would be screwed !!! that's why I wanted to ask some people with better knowledge
