This can't be true can it ! Re: OEM Euro Rims

[REV888]

Just spoke to 2 dealerships & they advise me you can not fit 17" rims from a 05 Euro Lux onto a 04 Basic Euro. !!

Please tell me this is not true!

[Chris_F]

The luxury rims from the 05 will 100% no doubt fit on the 04 euros. I think what the dealer was getting at is that they won't supply and fit them for you. They are now meant to be exclusive to the euro sports.

My advice is too look for a second hand set - youll have no problems fitting them

[Q_ball]

yeh, it sounds as tho they think that u want them to mix and match for you.
get the base model, and then source out the lux wheels privately.

[SiReal]

i've heard that it also have to do with the suspension being a tad lower. But someone else please confirm

[EuroDude]

Yep the sussy is about 1inch lower.

YEP ! Look forward to fiiting them! Can't wait!

i think it has something to do with the turning circle basic model (such as mine) has shorter turning circle was wondering if larger wheel will create some disturbance.

but again, you don't turn your steering to the end all the time so screw it, i said PUT THEM ON they must look nice

[Chris_F]

wow REV888, you must really like those rims (haha i like them too - congrats)


17" are perfectly fine for the euro, especially OEM wheels designed to honda specified width and offset.

differences in suspension and turning circle are largely insignificant

[REV888]

Yeah I always wanted thoese rims on my Euro

Just waiting till i relly wear out my 16" tyres then will fit the 17'! Not long to go.

[Chris_F]

good to hear! 17 are the way to go on euros
