Switch over to GSL-SE hubs/brakes and get the right size tire and they will bolt right up.

civics are 4x100... -SE's are 4x114.3, I wouldn't assume the second pattern is 4x114.3 or even it's actually dual patterend. The second set of holes may be for show... why, some think it looks cool. Best bet IMO is to chance it with wheel adapters from a source that stands behind their product 100%.

The second set of holes can be used but I need to do some costom work because the stock bolts dont fit in them so I will have to get some smaller ones. I think I need wheel adapters. And what are the main bolt patterend for a gsl?

Bolt pattern for a GSL is 4x110. If you can make it work, go for it

Whats the offset? It looks like you may need to run spacers/adapters because of the offset (I might be wrong).

If the tires are shot and you are worried about them rubbing, then buy smaller tires. Skinnier tires will still fit on those wheels as long as the are the same size. Hence 14 inch tires go on 14 inch rims, but you can buy tires that are not so wide.

But my dad was saying that I have to get wheel adapter and I have to get a wide body kit for my car. But I dont want one. But would there be enuff room so I dont have to puch the wheel out alot?

Thanks for info guys. I was talking to nick1 and duformike. And they said that the back needs 4 thinger space on the back. And the front only needs to not be tuching. There is one more thing I need to ask how much do shocks cost because I need 4 new ones!

The fronts are struts and the rears are shocks, keep that in mind when shopping for them.
