So this might be a dumb question and I’ve been looking at a pair of wheels that are hubcentric for my 2017 EX Sedan. I was wondering if the wheel is hubcentric would the OEM lugs fit or would I need to get a new set of lug nuts. Thanks in advance!

As a general rule, aftermarket wheels will use tapered seat wheel fasteners.
Do a bit more product research or contact the vendor to verify.

I wonder though, since the RWC wheels the OP is getting are OEM style knockoffs if they might just use the OEM lug nuts as well.

OP... definitely contact the vendor directly.

Alot of aftermarket wheels use wheelhub sizing of 73mm, the civic stock hub bore size is 64mm. When I got my wheels I got Project Kics centric spacers 73/64 and they mated perfectly so that there was no play. Best advice is to look at the wheels you actually want and find out the hub bore size.

That’s the most basic description I’ve ever seen. That being said, it doesn’t say the type of lug nuts required. Even though it’s hub centric I’ve seen some wheels still use conical lug nuts. I’ve also seen them use the Honda oem ball seat lug nuts, but because the description was so basic it doesn’t say what it uses. I’d contact the manufacturer or vender to verify
