Sizes of wheels (wheels) Civic

The 1996 (1998) Honda Civic EJ9 hub has 4 studs spaced 100mm apart. The seat is 56.1mm. Departure from ET38 to ET45. This 4x100 size is also found on the EJ8. Attention! Wheels from VAZ 4x98 with center 58.6 set Absolutely forbidden, the centers of the axes of the disc and the hub do not coincide. For fans of sports driving, I will note the size of the stock wheels for Honda Vi-RS and EK4 - 195/55 R15 6J ET45 4x100.

Disc designation

• 4x100 ET38 56.1 mm.

Wheel and tire designations

• 185/60 / R14 - stock (factory) rubber values.
• 205/45 / R16 - rubber values ​​as an example.

• 205 - width in millimeters.
• 45 - thickness in percentage ratio to width.
• 14 - diameter in inches.
• R - designation of the radial section of the cord on the tire, there is also a diagonal section D.

For a comfortable ride on Russian roads- 45 is not enough. For me, it is better to take 55. It makes no sense to take a wider 205, when cornering under a slope, the wheel touches the arch. I chose summer tires Yokohama S. Drive 195/55/15.

For some disks (for example, Phobos - by VSMPO), it is necessary to purchase internal spacers, axle adapters from 56 to 72mm. Usually they are plastic - they wrinkle. It is advisable to contact a turner to make metal ones. Dimensions of Spacers 56-72 are in the articles.

Rubbing or not rubbing discs

A very topical question for all seasons. What wheels can be put on the vegetable Honda Civic EJ9 and EK3. Our bolt pattern is 4x100, with a footprint of 56.1mm. The ideal overhang is from ET38 to ET45, if the overhang is less, it rubs against the arch. After collecting small statistics, now everyone can choose for themselves.
Marks XX mean that the parameter is unfortunately not known. If you can add, then you will help many to make a choice:

• 6.0 ET38 R14 - OK!
• 6.5 ET38 R14 205/60 - OK!
• 6.5 ET38 R15 195/50 - OK!
• 6.5 ET33 R15 195/55 - the third lunar rover
• 6.5 ET38 R15 195/50 - OK!
• 6.5 ET38 R15 205/50 - OK!
• 6.5 ET45 R15 195/55 - the best option
• 6.5 ЕТ45 R15 185/60 does not touch anything.
• 6.5 ET45 R15 195/50 springs -40 OK!
• 205/45 R16 (Stock suspension, not tinder)
• 205/50 R16 (Stock suspension, not tinder)
• 205/40 R17 (Stock suspension, not tinder)
• 7.0 ET25 R1x - lunar rover with 20mm outward
• 7.0 ET37 R1x - rear camber -2, arch-wheel gap 2mm
• 7.0 ET42 R16 - OK!
• 7.5 ETxx R17 205/40 - landing -30
• 7.5 ETxx R16 205/50 - OK!

Check tires regularly for damage. Check your tire pressure every two weeks or at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure in the spare tire.

Caution: When transporting heavy loads, the rear tire pressure should be increased by approx. 0.5 bar.

Note:

1. The lower the tread height, the greater the risk of tire slipping. The snow performance of the tire is significantly lost if the tread wears down to a height of less than 4 mm.
2. Improper tire pressure can reduce tire life and make driving your vehicle less safe.
3. Reduced pressure leads to excessive tire wear, an increased likelihood of hot tire punctures, poor handling and increased fuel consumption.
4. If the tire pressure is very low, then the wheel may be deformed or the tire has separated.
5. High tire pressure leads to impaired comfort, handling problems and increased wear on the center tread of the tire.

The pressure check is done only when the tires are cold. If the car is parked for at least three hours, then the pressure gauge reading will be correct.

Attention:

1) Always use a pressure gauge. Appearance tires can be confusing.

2) Remember to replace the tire valve cap as dirt and moisture can enter the valve and cause air leakage.

Change of tires.

1. When replacing tires, use only tires of the same size and design as originally installed and with the same or greater load capacity. Using a tire of any other size or type can seriously affect handling, comfort, speed / odometer accuracy, ground clearance, body-to-tire distance or snow chain.
2. It is recommended to change all four tires or at least both front or rear tires at the same time.
3. After repairing a tire, the wheel must be balanced.
4. Every 5 thousand kilometers, swap the tires according to the scheme shown in the figure.
5. Pay attention to the tread pattern. Tires with a directional tread pattern have an arrow in the direction of rotation on the side section and the inscription "rotation" may also be present.

Features of the operation of aluminum disks.

Attention: To avoid damage to the protective lacquer layer, do not allow tire workers to clean the outer surface of the wheel with a wire brush and remove them with a screwdriver when replacing the adhesive balancing weights.

1. If the wheels were rearranged, replaced or repaired, then after the first 1600 km. check that the nuts are securely fastened.
2. Use the wheel nuts and a Honda wrench specifically designed for aluminum rims.
3. When balancing wheels, use special weights for aluminum rims and a plastic or rubber mallet.
4. Periodically check the aluminum rims for damage (cracks and chips.) If damaged, replace the wheel immediately.
5. When replacing tires with directional tread pattern, make sure they are correctly installed.

Landing size of disks on the 2001-2005 Civic Ferio in. (discs)

1. Replacing wheel disks should be given due attention. Make sure to install discs with the same load capacity, diameter, rim width and offset.

2. Wrong choice of rims and tires can adversely affect handling, wheel and bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer / odometer accuracy, braking distance, headlight direction, bumper height, ground clearance and the distance between the tire and the body.

Depending on the type of tires, the following rims are installed, as indicated in the table "Correspondence of tire sizes to the parameters of wheel rims". For example, a possible marking is given:

6JJx14H4 - ET45 - PCD100 - DIA56

In the marking of disco wheels, the first number " 6 "indicates the width of the rim" N"expressed in either millimeters or inches. The letters in" JJ"indicate the shape of the rim. Subsequent number" 16 "indicates the rim diameter of the wheel" D"in inches, which should correspond to the bore diameter of the tire to be installed. Number" 45 "after letters" ET"denotes disk flyout ( ET) in mm. the following designations are also found in the marking: " H4"means the presence of 4 holes for mounting bolts or studs, the numbers after the designation" DIA"diameter of the center hole," PCD"the diameter of the location of the holes for the mounting bolts or studs.

* - after installing the front wheels, be sure to check that the extreme positions the wheels did not touch the suspension and body elements;

Special tools required
Toe gauge, 64 x 60 mm (07MGK-0010100)

The suspension allows adjustment of the camber and toe-in of the front wheels and the toe-in of the rear wheels. However, each of these adjustments is made in accordance with the others. For example, when adjusting camber, the toe changes. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the position of the front wheels each time you adjust camber or toe.

Preliminary check

Checking the angle of inclination of the king pin

Checking the angle of inclination of the king pin of the front suspension

Front suspension king pin tilt adjustment

Front camber can be adjusted by replacing the shock absorber fork bolts with smaller diameter adjusting bolts. The clearance between the adjusting bolt diameter and the mounting bolt hole diameter allows small adjustments.

Rear Camber Check

Checking and adjusting front wheel toe-in

Checking and adjusting rear wheel toe-in

Checking the ratio of the angles of rotation of the wheels
