What wheels fit a Honda?

Most modern Honda cars (Civic, Accord, CR‑V, HR‑V, Insight) use 5×114.3 bolt-pattern wheels with a 64.1 mm center bore and offsets in the +40 to +55 mm range; larger Honda models (Pilot, Passport, Ridgeline, and Odyssey 2011+) commonly use 5×120 wheels with similar high-positive offsets. Exact fit depends on your model year, trim, brake package, and the wheel’s width, offset, and center bore, so always verify the specifications for your specific vehicle before buying. Below, we explain how to get it right—and what to avoid.

How Honda wheel fitment works

Wheel fitment is determined by a few key specs that must match or be compatible with your specific Honda. Get these right and most quality wheels will work safely and without rubbing or vibration.

The essentials are:

  • Bolt pattern: The number of lugs and the circle diameter they form (e.g., 5×114.3, 4×100, 5×120).
  • Center bore (hub bore): The diameter of the wheel’s center hole. Hondas are typically 64.1 mm on most 5‑lug models and 56.1 mm on many older/smaller 4‑lug models.
  • Offset and width: Offset (ET) positions the wheel in/out relative to the hub; width affects inner/outer clearance. Hondas generally prefer higher positive offsets.
  • Diameter and tire size: Stay within sizes that clear your brakes, maintain proper speedometer accuracy, and preserve ride/handling.
  • Lug hardware: Thread pitch (commonly M12x1.5 on cars; many newer large Hondas use M14x1.5) and the seat type (usually 60° conical) must match the wheel.
  • Load rating and TPMS: Wheels must meet or exceed the vehicle’s load rating; sensor compatibility matters for warning lights.

When these factors align with your Honda’s specs—and the wheel clears calipers and suspension—you’ll have a correct, safe fit.

Common Honda bolt patterns and hub bores by family

The following groups capture what most owners will encounter. Individual years and trims can vary, especially around generation changes and performance packages, so verify your exact vehicle.

  • Small/older compact Hondas (examples: Fit; Civic/CRX/Del Sol and Integra from earlier generations): 4×100 bolt pattern with a 56.1 mm center bore; high-positive offsets (often +45 to +55).
  • Most modern Honda cars and small SUVs (examples: Civic 2016–2025, Accord 2008–2025, CR‑V 2002–2025, HR‑V 2016–2025, Insight 2019–2022; many Acuras): 5×114.3 bolt pattern with a 64.1 mm center bore; typical offsets +40 to +55.
  • Larger crossovers, pickup, and minivan (examples: Pilot 2009–2025, Passport 2019–2025, Ridgeline 2017–2025, Odyssey 2011–2025): 5×120 bolt pattern with a 64.1 mm center bore; typical offsets +45 to +55.
  • Exceptions and recent platforms: EVs or unique trims can change patterns or brake-clearance needs; verify models like the Prologue or performance variants by VIN or in the owner’s manual.

These groupings cover the majority of Hondas you’ll find on the road. Always cross-check the bolt pattern, hub bore, and offset for your exact model year to avoid surprises.

Typical wheel sizes and offsets by model line

The ranges below reflect common OEM and conservative aftermarket choices that generally clear brakes and fenders when paired with appropriate tires. Wider/flush setups may require precise offset targeting and additional checks.

  • Civic (2016–2025): 16–19 inch diameter; 7–8 inch width; offsets roughly +40 to +55. Popular street setups include 18×8 +45 with 235/40R18 or 225/40R18.
  • Accord (2018–2025): 17–19 inch diameter; 7.5–8.5 inch width; offsets +40 to +55. Common upgrade: 19×8.5 +45 with 235/40R19.
  • CR‑V (2017–2025): 17–19 inch diameter; 7–8 inch width; offsets +40 to +50. Typical upgrade: 18×8 +45 with 235/55R18.
  • HR‑V (2016–2025): 16–18 inch diameter; ~7 inch width; offsets +45 to +55. Example: 17×7 +50 with 215/55R17.
  • Fit (2007–2020): 15–16 inch diameter; 6–7 inch width; 4×100; offsets +45 to +55. Common: 16×7 +45 with 205/50R16.
  • Pilot/Passport (2016–2025): 18–20 inch diameter; 8–8.5 inch width; 5×120; offsets +45 to +55. Example: 20×8.5 +45 with 245/50R20 (check load rating).
  • Ridgeline (2017–2025): 18–20 inch diameter; 8–8.5 inch width; 5×120; offsets +45 to +55. Typical: 18×8 +45 with 245/60R18.
  • Odyssey (2011–2025): 18–19 inch diameter; 8–8.5 inch width; 5×120; offsets +50 to +55. Popular: 19×8.5 +50 with 245/45R19.

Staying within these bands minimizes the risk of rubbing and maintains drivability. Always confirm brake-caliper clearance and tire load ratings, especially on heavier models.

How to check if a set of wheels will fit your Honda

Use this step-by-step approach before buying or mounting wheels. It will help you avoid vibration, rubbing, or safety issues.

  1. Confirm bolt pattern: Match your vehicle’s pattern exactly (e.g., 5×114.3 or 5×120). A mismatch will not fit.
  2. Verify center bore: Your wheel’s center bore must be at least as large as the hub (commonly 64.1 mm for 5‑lug Hondas; 56.1 mm for many 4‑lug). If larger, use hub‑centric rings to reduce to the Honda hub size.
  3. Check width and offset: Compare to stock. As a rule of thumb, keep offset changes within about ±5–10 mm and width increases modest (0.5–1.0 in) for a hassle‑free fit. Use a clearance calculator to see inner (suspension/brake) and outer (fender) changes.
  4. Confirm brake/caliper clearance: Some trims have larger brakes. Test-fit or ask the wheel maker for a template to ensure spoke and barrel clearance.
  5. Load rating: The wheel’s load rating must meet or exceed your Honda’s axle loads—crucial for SUVs, minivans, and trucks.
  6. Lug hardware: Match thread pitch and seat. Most Honda cars use M12x1.5 with 60° conical seats; many Pilot/Ridgeline/Odyssey models use M14x1.5. Use the correct conical-seat nuts or bolts specified for the wheel.
  7. TPMS: Transfer or program compatible sensors to avoid warning lights. Newer Hondas often auto‑learn after a short drive; others need a relearn procedure or tool.
  8. Mount, torque, and re‑torque: Torque to the owner’s manual spec (commonly 80–90 lb‑ft for cars; around 94 lb‑ft for many larger Hondas). Re‑torque after 50–100 miles.

If any step is uncertain—especially brake clearance or load rating—consult the wheel manufacturer or a trusted installer before committing.

Cross-brand compatibility notes

Wheels from other brands can sometimes fit, but only when bolt pattern, center bore, offset, and lug-seat type are compatible. Here are frequent scenarios and caveats.

  • Toyota/Lexus/Nissan 5×114.3: Toyota/Lexus often use a smaller 60.1 mm bore (too small for Honda 64.1 mm), so OEM Toyota wheels typically won’t slide onto a Honda hub without machining. Many Nissan/Infiniti use a larger 66.1 mm bore—those can fit a 64.1 mm Honda hub with hub-centric rings. Always confirm the seat type and offset.
  • BMW 5×120: BMW wheels usually have a larger 72.56 mm center bore—these can physically go on 5×120 Hondas with hub-centric rings, but BMW offsets are often lower (ET30±), which can push the wheel outward on a Honda and cause poke or rubbing. Also note BMW uses bolts, not studs; ensure the lug-seat profile matches.
  • Subaru 5×114.3: Many Subarus have a smaller 56.1 mm bore. OEM Subaru wheels typically won’t fit a 64.1 mm Honda hub without machining the bore.
  • Aftermarket “universal” bores: Many aftermarket wheels use a 73.1 mm bore; they’re designed to fit many hubs with rings. Use quality rings sized to 64.1 mm (most 5‑lug Hondas) or 56.1 mm (many 4‑lug/older compacts).

When mixing brands, prioritize correct bolt pattern, hub-centric fit with rings, appropriate offsets, and correct lug-seat hardware to maintain safety and ride quality.

Safety and legal considerations

Wheel changes affect handling, braking, and compliance. Keep these points in mind to stay safe and avoid inspection or insurance headaches.

  • Lug torque: Follow the owner’s manual. Typical Honda cars are 80–90 lb‑ft; many Pilot/Ridgeline/Odyssey specs are about 94 lb‑ft. Re‑torque after 50–100 miles.
  • Tire load/speed ratings: Match or exceed OEM ratings, especially on heavier models and when towing.
  • Overall diameter: Keep tire diameter near OEM to preserve speedometer accuracy, ABS/TC behavior, and gearing.
  • Chain clearance and fender liners: If you drive in snow or off‑road, ensure adequate clearance for chains or debris.

Conservative sizing and quality components preserve safety systems, ride, and warranty/insurance compliance.

Frequently asked specifics

Will 18-inch wheels fit my Civic?

On 2016–2025 Civics, yes—18×8 +45 with 225/40R18 or 235/40R18 is a proven combination that clears brakes and fenders on stock suspension. Lowered cars or wider setups may require more careful offset/tire selection.

Can I use Acura wheels on my Accord?

Often yes. Many Acura and Honda sedans share 5×114.3 and a 64.1 mm hub. Ensure the offset is in the +40 to +55 range, verify brake clearance, and use the correct conical-seat lug nuts.

Do I need hub-centric rings?

Use rings whenever the wheel’s center bore is larger than your Honda’s hub (commonly 73.1→64.1 or 73.1→56.1). They help keep the wheel centered and reduce vibration. Aluminum or high-quality polycarbonate rings both work when sized correctly.

Summary

The wheels that fit a Honda depend on bolt pattern, hub bore, offset, and size. Most modern Honda cars and small SUVs use 5×114.3 with a 64.1 mm hub and high-positive offsets; larger models like Pilot, Passport, Ridgeline, and Odyssey (2011+) typically use 5×120. Stay within sensible width/offset ranges, verify brake clearance and load ratings, use hub-centric rings when needed, and follow proper torque and TPMS procedures. When in doubt, confirm your exact model’s specs by VIN or owner’s manual and consult the wheel maker for a guaranteed fit.

Will Chevy rims fit on a Honda?

So this hub right here. Does not fit from the Honda Civic to the Chevy Cobalt unless. You um open this hub up a little bit and when I say a little bit it might be like 1 or 2 millm.

What Honda has a 4×100 bolt pattern?

Compatibility and Suitability: The 4×100 bolt pattern is predominantly found in compact and subcompact Honda models, such as older Civic models, the Fit, CRX, Insight, Del Sol, Prelude, and City.

What bolt pattern is Honda Fit?

The Honda Fit uses a 4×100 bolt pattern on every generation. This means the wheel has four lug holes, and the distance between the center of two opposing lug holes, measured in millimeters, is 100mm. This 4×100 pattern is common for many Honda compact and subcompact models, including older Civics and CRXs, as well as the Fit.
 
Understanding Bolt Pattern

  • The “4”: Indicates the number of lug holes on the wheel. 
  • The “100”: Represents the diameter of the circle that the lug holes form, in millimeters. 

This information is useful when buying new wheels or checking if a used wheel will fit your Honda Fit.

What bolt pattern is Honda?

Yes, many Honda and Acura models share the 5×114.3mm bolt pattern and similar specifications. Wheels from vehicles like the Accord, Civic (2006+), Element, Acura RDX, and TSX can often fit.
