im about to buy some new rims and theyre are some measurement numbers on there that im unsure of.
can anyone help me out?
(15x7, 4x100+40mm, Hub 67.1mm)
(15x7, 4x114.3+25mm, Hub 73mm)
(15x7, 4x100+40mm, Hub 73mm)
all 3 are the same rim but whats the difference between them?

Just in case you don’t know already:
15x7 = width of rim
4x100 or 4x114.3 = lug pattern (Most Integras and Civics run a 4x100 lug pattern)
+25mm, +40mm = offset of the rims
67.1mm, 73mm = hub bore of the rim (Integras/Civics have a center hub of 67.1mm but can run rims with a bigger hug bore given you run hubcentric rings)
This one (15x7, 4x114.3+25mm, Hub 73mm) will NOT fit your car, given you have an Integra. Most Honda/Acuras run a 4x100 lug pattern.
Those other two (15x7, 4x100+40mm, Hub 67.1mm) and (15x7, 4x100+40mm, Hub 73mm), will fit, the only difference are the hub bores 67.1mm vs. 73mm… they both fit but I’d suggest you get hubcentric rings.
If possible, go with ALL same specs when buying rims or else you might run into problems with one needing spacers or hubcentric rings… blah blah blah.
the offset is how far from the car they stick out rite?
and can you explain the hub bore a little more? i dont really understand…

Offset is the measurement of where the mounting surface of the wheel is relative to the wheels center line. I.E. A wheel with the mounting surface directly aligned with its center line has a +/-0 offset, and one with the mounting surface 10mm away from the centerline towards the “outside” of the wheel would have a +10mm offset, and finally one with its mounting surface 10mm away from the centerline towards the “inside” of the wheel would have a -10mm offset.
Hub bore is a measurement of the diameter of that big hole in the center of your wheel. U know…the one that a centercap covers. A hubcentric ring fills the gap left between the hub and that hole in the wheel when using a wheel with larger hub bore than is intended for your vehicle. Basically…u know that area in the very center of your brake rotor that protrudes through the rotor and surrounds the hub nut? That is the hub…and the hub centric ring goes over that part.
Heres a decent visual and description.

so which one?[/QUOTE]
You can basically run either 1st or 3rd rim but the 1st is the closest to the DA’s suspension specs.
Don’t forget to buy tuner lug nuts for the rims. DO NOT use your oem lugs on these rims cuz they will not secure the rims properly.
thanks
which of these would you prefer?

and im going to get these for the rims.
http://www.tuningoption.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=WHEEL-LOCK-PIAA-WLN5C&CartID=2
Yeah those Pia ones look pretty cool. Very different lock teeth than the rest of those tuner lugs so less chance of thieves stealing your rims…
You do know that $38.99 is only for 4 lugs right? It gets expensive when you get the whole set… but better to be safe then sorry with your rims…
i know its only for 4. but piaa is a good brand and to steal the rims you have to get all 4 lugs off… ya digg?
even if its just that one piaa that stays on its worth it because my rims will still be there in the morning…
can somone give me the a quick 101 on hubcentric rings…
If you look at BK_DA’s post #4, he explained it very clearly in his second paragraph and even provided a link with pictures.
So in general, hubcentric rings fill in the gap bewteen your hub (middle part where your axle nut sits in) and the hole on your rims.
People use them so when the rim is tightened to the hub, it doesn’t shake when the car is in motion just in case the rim sits slightly off centered on the spindle/rotor.
like a gasket… i got it now.
im using the site in that link and its asking for the inner and outer bore. are all of our inner bore measurements the same?
