They will fit. They are both 4 X 100. Unless your wheels are from 1991 Prelude Si, which is 4 X 114.3. In that case they wont fit.

The link I took the info from messed me up, thats why I had to edit my post. Honda _ Vehicle Bolt Pattern Reference - that site are a bunch of clowns.

Thanks Colfax on clearing things up.

 

They wont fit. The lug pattern is different.

HUH??? All 3rd gen preludes and 96 civics both have 4 x 100 bolt patterns. They will fit fine.

 

I looked again and 1991 Prelude Si is 4 X 114.3, the rest are 4 x 100.

So if the OP has a 91 Prelude Si rims, then they wont fit a 1996 Civic.

Hope this clears everything up.

 

Unfortunately that website is wrong. Like I said before...all 3rd gens are 4 x 100. In fact, I used 14" Civic rims for my snow tires when I had my 91 Prelude.

 

besides the 91 Prelude Si, which is 4 x 114.3. This is what many sources say when you do a Google search.

 

its like 50/50.. some of those sites say 4 X 100 and some say 4 X 114.3.

I'm thinking that since in Japan the 4th gen was oficially released in 1991, maybe that is why all those sites are giving misinformation and confusing it with the last year of the 3rd gens in the USA?

 

I just decided to swap prelude wheels later. It is a 91 si, so I just got some wheels for the civic. I hated those 13" steelies!

well, I guess those sources and websites are complete BS then.

Yeah it doesn't make sense for Honda to change lug pattern just for one trim style.

Anyways, thanks for clearing that up Colfax.

 

I'm pretty sure the si had 4x114.3 to. Was the only model like that. All others were 4x100

Did you read my posts? I just said that I had a 91 Si and It was 4 x 100. Why did you post that if you aren't sure? It just confuses people when there is conflicting info.

 

lol wow.

Do we really have to make a poll thread on this? lmao

 

Lmao...sure. We can take a poll on this. But whatever members are "pretty sure" about still won't change the fact that all 3rd gens have the same bolt pattern.

 

Maby it's diffrent..

i've got also a Chevrolet and here in europa is it 4x 100 and usa 5x 103 ore something

maby there is a diffrent with the 3th gen from china to europa from europa to usa??

You're stubborn arent you? :laugh:

What is there for you to look into? It's already been settled. Are you gonna believe something you think remember reading on the internet, or someone who actually has first hand knowledge about it? You have to either think I'm lying about it, or you don't think I know enough to know what I had on my own car to believe me. It doesn't matter what you have seen or read, it was misinformation. That's common on the internet. And by saying what you're saying, you're actually adding to that misinformation.

 

Ok

That's basically the same as the link that S-LudeDan posted. It's wrong.

I can't really speak for anything except USDM or CDM models with any certainty. One thing I do know about them is that Japan got models one model year earlier than anyone else. So 3rd gens came out in 1987 thru 1990 in Japan instead of 1988 thru 1991, and the first year of the 4th gen was 1991. But if that website was talking about Japan models then the 5th gen would have started with the 1996 model year, and it should show that the bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 for a 96 lude. But it shows a 96 as having 4 x 114.3, like all other 4th gens.

 

here is another site that is possibly providing mis-info.

lug pattern on prelude?

 

Yep, it is wrong. Here are two web sites that give the correct information...

Honda Bolt Pattern Guide - Vehicle Lug Reference

Bolt Pattern Guide Database #16 in this list.

 

also Si states and INX models. How about those 4 X 100? or 114.3?

wow so much misinformation online..

 

I can't say with first hand knowledge about those models since they weren't available in the US. But in the 6 years I've been a member on the preludepower forum, I've never seen anything that makes me think they are anything but 4 x 100...just like all other 3rd gen models. This forum doesn't have much 3rd gen traffic, as you know. But the other forum has a huge 3rd gen community, and never have I read anything about any 3rd gen models having a different bolt pattern.
