Hi there!
Total car n00b here. Just bought my first car of my life a 2016 Civic Ex.
Context: I just bought winter tires and steel wheels. I want to spruce up the steelies. I did some reading and found out that the Honda Element 2003-2004 center caps shown below will fit the civic 2016. On one photo they are actually installed on what I think is a civic.
Problem: My dumbself bought generic steel wheels from canadian tire. They are installed on my civic already with some Blizzaks. They supplied me with some new lugnuts for the generic wheel install. I want to use the Elements Center Caps.
Do I need new lugnuts, or do the new lugnuts installed with the generic steel wheels need washers or something or will they work out of the box?
Pretty sure they have the same lugnut spacing as my honda alloy rims (they would have to wouldn't they? since they are currently installed on the civic and the alloys are in the closet).
but I don't know what type of lugnuts will work with the Generic rims + Element center caps.
Any help or insight would be appreciated!
Sry if this is a real noob question. Thanks!
Others have used these center caps on a civic here: (Sorry. Can't supply links yet due to post count. The threads are on "The temple of vtech forum" titles: "Steel wheels & my TSX", and, "putting away the summer tires? "
