Miata wheels on civic
Hey i have a problem with my civic i got tired of seeing LS wheels on their so i put on some miata wheels that i painted black. I put spacer on the rear so the hub would clear the wheel. but the front shacks from 55-90. i had my tires replaced and balanced and still have that problem. can anyone tell me what that might be

There was a miata for sale on here that had acura rims on it, I don't think he had a problem. You might be able to find him and ask him what he did or if he had issues.
Also, check your CV axles, may be an inner joint.

as for the shaking problem, could be worn tie rods...or a bent wheel.

actually they will, but they will not sit flush against the hub. and yes when i first started swapping wheels and did not know about bolt patterns, i put accord wheels on my EF. btw accords have 4x110.
only the teg had the same 4x100 as a civic, all the rest of the 4 lug rims were 4x110.

Accords are 4x114.3, or at least they were at the height of their popularity during the '90s.
Miatas have been 4x100 from the start, and switched to a 5 lug setup for 2006 on the new MX-5.
