What size wheels are on a 2016 Honda Civic?

Most 2016 Honda Civics left the factory with either 16-inch or 17-inch wheels: base LX models use 16-inch wheels, while most higher trims wear 17-inch alloys; a few regional variants and accessories may differ. The exact size depends on body style (sedan or coupe) and trim level.

Factory wheel sizes by trim (U.S. models)

2016 Civic Sedan

The list below outlines the factory wheel and tire sizes fitted to U.S.-spec 2016 Civic sedans by trim, including wheel type and the original tire size you’ll see on the sidewall.

• LX: 16-inch steel wheels with covers; tires 215/55R16
• EX: 17-inch alloy wheels; tires 215/50R17
• EX-T: 17-inch alloy wheels; tires 215/50R17
• EX-L: 17-inch alloy wheels; tires 215/50R17
• Touring: 17-inch alloy wheels; tires 215/50R17

In short, if your 2016 Civic sedan is an LX it likely has 16-inch wheels; most other sedan trims use 17-inch alloys from the factory.

2016 Civic Coupe

Two-door 2016 Civic coupes follow a similar pattern, with base trims on 16-inch wheels and upper trims on 17-inch alloys. Here’s how they were typically equipped in the U.S. market.

• LX: 16-inch steel wheels; tires 215/55R16
• LX-P: 16-inch alloy wheels; tires 215/55R16
• EX-T: 17-inch alloy wheels; tires 215/50R17
• EX-L: 17-inch alloy wheels; tires 215/50R17
• Touring: 17-inch alloy wheels; tires 215/50R17

Most 2016 Civic coupes run 17-inch wheels unless they’re the LX or LX-P trims, which use 16-inch fitments.

How to confirm what your car has

If you’re unsure which wheels are on your specific Civic, these quick checks will verify size and spec without guesswork.

1. Read the tire sidewall: the last number in the size (e.g., 215/50R17) is the wheel diameter in inches.
2. Check the driver’s door-jamb sticker: it lists OEM tire size and recommended pressures for your VIN.
3. Consult the owner’s manual or a VIN decoder: both will show the original equipment size for your trim.

Because cars may have been modified or fitted with accessory wheels, using both the tire sidewall and the door-jamb label is the most reliable way to confirm what’s on the car now versus what it had when new.

Key wheel specs and fitment notes

For maintenance or upgrades, these baseline specifications help ensure proper fit and safe operation on a 2016 Civic.

• Bolt pattern: 5×114.3 mm (5×4.5″)
• Center bore: 64.1 mm
• Typical stock widths/offsets: 16×7 or 17×7 with approximately +40 to +45 mm offset
• Lug-nut torque: about 80 lb-ft (108 N·m)
• TPMS: most U.S.-spec 2016 Civics use an indirect (ABS-based) system; recalibration is done in the vehicle settings after rotations or size changes

Sticking close to the stock width and offset preserves handling and clearance. If you plan a plus-size setup (for example, 18-inch wheels), verify tire clearance and speedometer impact, and recalibrate TPMS as required.

Regional differences and exceptions

Wheel equipment can vary by country and package. Canadian and overseas trims sometimes bundle different wheel designs or finishes, but sizes generally mirror the 16-inch base and 17-inch upper-trim pattern. Note that the hatchback body style did not arrive in the U.S. until the 2017 model year, and performance variants (like the Si) with larger wheels were not part of the 2016 lineup.

Summary

A 2016 Honda Civic typically has 16-inch wheels on the LX trim and 17-inch wheels on most other trims, for both sedan and coupe. Check your tire sidewall or door-jamb label to confirm the exact size on your car.
