Yeah, an air bag would be part of fully functional. Too bad, I almost got excited at the prospect of a MOMO steering wheel!

Hey guys.

I want to buy some new wheels for my svx.

I have found some NISMO LMGT4 18x8.5 front 18x9.5 rear rims. Will they fit on the svx without problems?

Thank You!

Staggered wheels will cause your AWD system problems (read: damage), and will probably rub in the rear without rolling the fenders; they do not work well on these cars.

Less of an issue if you have a Front Wheel Drive model, in which case, sorry to hear that.

Those wheels are pretty hot though.

Staggered width, that is...
Staggered offset (which looks the same) is just fine on these cars.

greetings

with 18s the best tires size is 225-40-18
and really, anything larger then 7.5 or 8" wide
is really overkill and not needed..
unless you like the stretched tire look on your car
and really, dont want the tires to work like they should

we have several pics of svxs with a variety of wheels
actually on the cars...
most are 18s ..some 17s too I think.

Rota makes a knock off in various sizes and offsets.

I found some Honda s2000 wheels for $260 dollars on craigslist and I was wondering if they would fit the svx. They are 5 lug which is odd for a Honda. And from what I have researched and they seem to be 17" and have a 5x114.7 bolt pattern.

they should be 5x114.3 and yes the s2000 should have the same bolt pattern but I do not know the offset.

thats too much $ for those..
they have little to no value and low demand rims..
most S2000s had staggered wheels, 7s and 8s
from the factory...Not needed on the svx.
Unless you want to find another set and make all 4
the same and sell off the extra set.
Offset is fine..
hub center I think is the same size, it may be smaller.

Ok thanks a million, I guess I will continue my on-going quest for the perfect wheels!
