Rang Honda today to find a price on 17inch rims as fitted to the new 05 Euro luxury, with the idea of putting them on an 04 model.

no dice - dealers have been told by Honda Australia not to fit them as they are "not compatible with 04 models due to revisions in suspension".

I couldn't find out the exact specs, but I did get a list of parts that were changed on the 05 model:

left and right upper front suspension arms
front shocks
front springs
rear sway bars and bushes
both rear control arms

I'm sure the official honda line is bullshit, especially given some of the rim sizes some of you are running without dramas. Anyway, it seems if you want 17s or larger on a 04 honda euro, go aftermarket!

ps - my brother is ordering his 05 lux in Graphite on Saturday.
