Honda Wheels on an Aveo?

[italsupra10]

I've been seeing some mixed answers, and I'd like to know if anyone has put a set of Honda/Acura wheels on an Aveo? More specifically, I'm looking to fit a set of 2000 Civic SI wheels on a 2004 Aveo, and I'm wondering if this will be a direct fit?

I think that both have a center bore of 56.1mm, however, I've seen a few people say that they had to increase the center bore of their wheels to make them fit. Just wondering if anyone has a definitive answer before I spend the money on the Civic SI wheels.

yes i was also curious about this

i wanted some civic si rims with the honda symbol on them, and i wanted to debadge my aveo and replave the badges with honda ones, change my steering wheel out and put one in out of a fit, and then change out my muffler with a JDM one thats a half of foot wide

has anyone done any of this??? i need help

the honda and aveo have to same bolt pattern, but the honda hub center bore is 56.1 and the aveo is 56.6, so you can do it, if you sand the opening a .5mm, which is not much, i did my hub rings in like 5 mines (but they are aluminum)

Thanks for the info. Has anyone done this with a set of Honda alloys, and maybe any photos?

Well, I tried to test fit the Civic SI wheels to the Aveo, and as expected, the center bore of the SI wheels is too small. I'll bust out the Dremel this weekend and see if I can make them fit. If so, I'll post up somc pics in case anybody's interested down the line...

But are these rims hub-centric as well?

If you dont grind perfect, you might end up with a wheel that doesnt feel balanced no matter what you do. But I suppose at .05 It's doable without much of an issue.

Acorn lugnuts self-center. If you are concerned about it, torque the wheels off the ground.

as soon as the wheel fits your good, the lugs will center it also, and lots of test fits to be sure not to take too much.

i personally would use a cylinder hone.


or if you are concerned, you can always take it to a machine shop and have them opened up..
