    Damn wheels don't fit right!!

    The center hole on the new wheels is larger than the one on my factory steelies. Can I just swap that spacer plate (Never had a car with this on it before, so I guess that's what it is, it's on both cars and doesn't look any different except for the interior lip diameter) over from the 93 SE to the 91 LX or am I going to run into offset problems? The new wheels look like they stuck out almost flush with the fender lip on the SE, but they seem to sit back inside the wheel well on the LX. The spacer plates don't look like they have different thicknesses. So WTF is the deal? If I don't swap the spacer, will it cause me problems on the LX (I'm keeping that one). I know the lugs hold the wheels tight and in place, but it's a tight fit for a reason, right? And if I can get away with that, will it be a problem on the SE because the wheels aren't flush against the hub?

    *edit* Just checked hondapartswarehouse.com and they show the same parts numbers for both cars. WTF??? Is there a ring rusted on there that I'm missing or something?

    *edit* Ok, I'm an idiot. Tomorrow, when it's not raining and I'm not already in a foul mood, I'll go see about getting the hubcentric rings off the SE. duh. Shoulda searched, then bitched. I know.

    Huh? That's really kinda confusing to read honestly.

    So are you using OEM SE wheels on your LX? If so you don't have to use the spacer. The SE wheels are wider than the LX steelies, so it will stick out more.

    Can you post pics or something to clarify a little more of what's going on?

      Nope, taking the Kosei Grand Infests off the SE and putting them on my LX. This is my first set of aftermarket rims and I never realized they had the spacer back there. as of this moment, they are already on my coupe! Thanks though.
