Hey I currently ditched and wrote off my old whip I had last year. You can see it here:

I dont want to have to sell my rims I got back from my smashed prelude. So I am curious is it possible to add 17 inch rims onto 1998 civic HB.

Or ill just go outside and roll my wheel around looking for someone with a 1998 civic

aren't 4th gens (ludes) 4x114.3?

17's will fit man, however i dont recommend it on your civic as you will get some noticeable camber and have some rubbing issues. also if they are from a prelude, they would have different offsets

if the rims are 4x100 multifit they will fit easy.......

i got 18x7 and they fit fine and dont scrub.. no trouble with camber

yea my rims are multi stud
