Compatable rims

[col200]

After spending a week on craigslist and on various online "measurement" websites, I came out with a set of 15" steelies from a 93 Honda Accord EX for $80. According (see what I did there?) to the info, these rims should fit the protege5, correct? But, I brought them in to be installed and they sent me home saying they were the wrong size and wouldn't fit. Hmm. Now I'm out $80, but more importantly, I have 4 nice 15" snow tires without rims. Any ideas?

well is this accord 5 lug? more specifically 5x114.3?
and is the offset and hub bore size right to where it will actually mount?
check these then check back

yeah, it's 5x114.3 with a ~6" offset and bore size looks larger than the stock P5 rims. I'll have to remeasure them. The guy at the shop just said "I tried to put them on and they didn't fit". He gave me no more details. =(

i thought Hondas were 5x100

'93 accord is 4x114.3, not 5x114.3

 

[col200]

Hmmm. These are def. 5. I'll have to measure.

Looks like it's possible they're from an Accord EX.

i'm pretty sure the early 90 Accords were 4 lugs.

Just measured it.
Bolt pattern is 5x114.3. The rim specs are 15x6.5JJ.
6" offset from mounting surface to back of rim.
63.5 bore.
You guys are right about the accord though. I'm not sure why they're marked that way. I think the previous owner had them on a Camry.

By the looks of it, the center bore is a bit shy, correct? Can I have this enlarged or is that not worth it. Thing is, I bought the rims for $80 and 4 snow tires for $150. Hard to pass that up. If everything fits but the bore, that seems to be the one thing you could probably fix. Hmm =\

 

[nate0123]

A machine shop could enlarge the hub bore. No idea how much they'd charge.

 

[col200]

Is a 6.5" wide rim too large for our MP5?

 

[Rogue]

not at all. the stock wheel is 16x6. People have fit 8" wide wheels w/o any issue.

 

[col200]

Cool. I'll check out the local machine shops.
I'm still curious why one of the rims has '93 accord' scribbled on it in marker. These are 5x114.3, for sure, and I can't find an Accord to match (scratch).

The guy I bought them from said he used them on his Camry, and makes sense since the Camry's CB is 60.1.

 

[nate0123]

sure it doesn't say '03 accord? those used a 5x114.3 with 64.1 hub bore...

 

[col200]

HA! It does. Wow, I must be old to just assume '93 was the most current "3" in years.

center bore won't fit
