Wheel interchangeability with Honda ?

[Jedimaster65]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if the VAG wheels on a leon are interchangeable with Honda wheels from Civic / Accord ?

I guess it comes down to the allignment...

seat leon fitments are 5x112

honda accord >99 and civic 5 stud are 5x114.3

So you answer to the interchangeability is an unfortunately no. some of the new civic alloys are really nice, just a shame the hub is different size.

buy a copy of this months redline magazine. There's a big fitment chart for most cars near the back of the mag for this issue. thats where i got the info for you answer. A quick look down the list show that it's really only VAG that use 5x112 fitment size.

Sigh !

That's just what I feared might be the case.

Thanks for your help though.

5x114,s will fit with a set of wobbly wheel bolts fro halfords for about £25 although i wouldnt reccomend it on a cupra as a little strength may be lost on the bolts. The centre bore MUST be the correct size to fit any alloys tho which can be done using spiggot rings.

H & R spacers will do the trick...you should be able to convert any pcd to another...but I reckon its about £80 a pair at least!

I have a nice new set of 18" Monza Gti Golf wheels and not having any joy selling them...was thinking of fitting them to my Girlfriends Honda Accourd Tourer...would this make it possible ?

Nope the PCD (distance between the bolt holes) is different, the holes won't line up on the hub. Unless the Honda's are 5x112 then they won't line up.

You also need to consider offset, because if the wheel is the incorrect offset it could foul against brake calipers and other running gear items.

OK...Thanks Mark.

If you use a set of wobbly bolts you will be able to fit the Honda wheels onto a Leon. Every-one has an opinion on wobbly bolts, usually not good, but I wonder how many people have even seen one never mind used one. A few years back I ran 5x100 wheels on an Alfa which was 5x98 using wobbly bolts without any problems whatsoever. There is absolutely no question of them being any weaker and the ones which I used were TUV approved. If you actually looked at how they are engineered you would have no qualms about using them. As long as the Honda wheels do not have a centre bore of less that 57.1mm then spigot rings will solve that problem. The only other issue would be the off-set of the Honda wheels.
