I don't understand, why would the LX, EX, and Touring have a +45 mm offset but no offset listed above for the EX-T? Unless the chassis is different on the EX-T (which I find to be impossible) wouldn't all have the same offset? I'm looking to put Touring wheels on my EX-T and this is confusing me.

I Just took off my EXT wheels and weighed myself on a digital scale while holding them. The weighed in at 50 lbs for 3 of them and 49.6 lbs for one of them. I've driven about 100 miles on them so they're pretty new. So the stock EXT wheels are 28 lbs?? Wow...


I put on 17" Enkei RP03 which are 16.8 lbs.
With tires they weighed in at 40 lbs on the same scale. Saved 10 lbs per corner.

Can anyone verify the size of the 18" wheels on the hatchback? I'm assuming they will be 18x8 with a 45 offset?

Quick question for EX-L and EX-T owners, what kind of lug nuts do you have on stock 17s?

I know it's ball seat 12x1.5, but are they the shorter or longer ones? I'm seeing both on eBay. Will they both fit?

I have an LX, but I'll be putting on the EX-L/EX-T wheels in the Spring. I have OEM wheel locks.....how do the wheel locks look in comparison to the lug nuts? Are they both the same length?

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly are we talking about here?

I am looking to put my snow tires on in the next couple of weeks.

Can anyone please direct me to the proper lug nuts for a 2016 Civic EX?

...and yes, Canadian here, eh! :)

If you're wrapping winter tires around your stock 16" alloy rims, then you can just your existing lug nuts. Pretty sure the EX, EX-T, EX-L and Touring lugnuts are all the same. LX lugnuts are different as they are "open" - there's no cap on the end..(at least on my LX here in the U.S.)

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have steel rims for my snow tires. I won't be putting my snows on my summer rims.

Are they OEM wheels or just generic steel wheels. HOnda uses ball seat lug nuts rather than taper seat. It is important that you know which it is and get the correct lug nuts.
