Default Rims

I have a 2 door 96 civic currently and a friend just gave me some 20" rims. I know that most civics come with the 4 lugs instead of 5. Are the rims too big to go on the car? If not, what will it take to make the rims work? is it even worth it?

dont mess with the 20s. I have a 95 dx coupe with 18s. they fit great with no mods. i would suggest no bigger than 18s.

20's would definetly be pushing it. Are they the right lug pattern?

You can pretty much kiss your ride quality goodbye if you go with 18+ Why not just sell the 20's and get some nice lightweight 16's with good rubber?

+1 on selling the 20's to get a nice set of 16's with rubber!

DAMN! 20's? No way, go with lightweight 15's or 16's. 18's are even too big in my opinion and 17's are on the edge.

It's hard to find a 20 with a 4x100 bolt pattern....not to mention the correct offset (back spacing) I vote for selling them as well!!!
