    89 Accord hub size?

    Anyone know it offhand? My girlfriend has an 89 Accord and she's got winter tires on her stock steelies now a set of Corolla wheels to put on in the summer time, but the hub on the inside doesn't allow them to fit on the Honda.

    SO, I'm thinking it wouldn't be much of a problem to get them machined out a bit so they would fit, but I don't know how big to go?!

    Any help would be great.
    Thanks.

    Assuming the stud pattern is the same on both wheels, you also need to worry about what is called the "offset." That is a measurement where the centerline of the wheel is compared to the mounting surface the wheel attaches to. If the offset is not the same, or not very close to the same as the Honda offset, either the wheel won't fit over the brakes, or it will be dangerous to drive. You can get the offset from a Toyota dealer, probably, but I'd find a cheap set of Accord wheels at a junkyard. Don't tempt fate.

    Fate?
    Anyway, the offset is 42mm wich will be just fine, anything between a 40-45 will be good. Thanks anyway.

    Anyone know the size of the hub?
