Wow, typically I would tell you that you that you are a fool for fucking with those hubs…but hot damn, that is one good looking Accord and if you truly made it work, I commend you!

love the look
but do you mean those steel inserts that are on the wheel itself inside of the lug nut holes
if so.... i hope you never over torque them even a little bit (aka lugnut pulls through the wheel itself), and those lug nuts will actually stay tight for you
and they look like stock lug nuts too, not even some of those wobble lug nuts, designed to fit wheels with the wrong bolt/pattern on a different car

Thanks for the compliment man!
Yeah I did knock those out! It gave me the clearance to fit them on, and used OEM lugs with a tapered wheel lock and torqued them down... But I didn't understand ur last part. What did u mean by wobble lug nuts?

rims look great... just not sure if it is safe (what FRIES said) and I like to think that he knows what he is talking about
Saw the VA plates..then I saw the Navi screen and was like holly sh!t.... I grew up a few blocks from there...215-92-16....were you at the car wash when you took that Navi pic? Those outside pics are definitly not taken at the same place as the Navi pic

So basically what you're saying is that you widened the lug holes on the wheel to make them fit? So now your lugs aren't centered in the bolt holes on the wheels? If that's the case I really hope you're the only one on the road when your wheel falls off. I'd hate for somebody else to be hurt because of your ignorance.

Variation Bolt AKA Wobble Bolt Bolt for PCD Variation
Hex17 M12 x 1.25 x 29.5
With this new item you can use one wheel with unified center bore for several applications. This bolt is fitted with a mobile conical washer which keeps the bolt axis perpendicular to the car flange while allowing radial displacement and a consequent PCD variation.
Set of 16 - $64.00 Set of 20 - $80.00

^^^You and I are on the same page. This is the only thing that would make this setup even remotely safe. Without adapters like these, if the lugs aren't centered in the bolt holes on the wheels it's not safe. Honestly, even with something like that it's just way too many variables when considering securing the only thing between your vehicle and the road IMO.

Not sayin that I didn't take precautions... But what do YOU say to them (cali-tuners) who are putting 9-10" wheels with 205 or 215 wide tires on their cars? Talk about saftey.... That's even worst compared to what ur even trying to say! Imagine coming around a bin and ur tires bead gives out due to the heat and extream stretch of it??? I just did a 1 and a half hr drive at about 75mph to Harriman State Park near Bear Mountain ( Up state new York- where I took that pic mid page ) with no problems, no vibrations, etc... And thats one of the steepest drives in NY...

so something like this OP
http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-r...cers.asp?id=67
not cheap, but the easiest way to do it correctly though for adapting the wheels

Oh and friesm, let me know if you ever wanna get into some racing out here in CO. I'm a pretty avid autocrosser and have been doing a decent amount of karting lately too.

I'm sure they exist somewhere. I've had a customer come in for vibration issues and upon further inspection find out that they had smashed a 5-114.3 pattern wheel onto a 5-115 hub. Bolt holes were completely wallowed out and starting to crack the wheels. Scary scenario. Same thing will likely happen to the OP's wheels if they manage to stay on the car long enough without falling off.

What are you doing on Friday. We're going to Unser Racing in Denver for 1/2 price karting if you wanna tag along.
