Honda Civic EG (1992-1995) and del Sol (1993-1997) wheels and brakes: 4x100 specs, factory sizes, what fits and brake swaps

Published 2026-11-13 · Updated 2026-11-13

What wheels and brakes fit a 1992-1995 Honda Civic EG or a 1993-1997 del Sol?

Short answer: US 1992-95 Civics and 1993-97 del Sols use a 4x100 bolt pattern, a 56.1 mm hub bore and M12x1.5 lug nuts, and Honda's 1993 service manual gives 110 N·m (80 ft-lb). Base cars came on 13-inch wheels; the del Sol Si has 14x5.5 alloys with 185/60R14 and the del Sol VTEC 195/60R14 tires, while the Civic Si is listed on 185/60R14 by a tire retailer but on 15x6 by one wheel guide. A wheel guide suggests 15x7 or 15x8 as upgrades; 5x114.3 wheels do not bolt on. Rear discs came on the del Sol Si and VTEC, and owners convert drum cars by swapping the whole disc trailing arm with its lines and parking-brake cables.

Bolt pattern, hub bore, lug nuts and torque

Facts as of 2026-11-13. These apply to every US 1992-1995 Civic (CX, VX, DX, LX, EX and Si; hatch, coupe and sedan) and to the 1993-1997 Civic del Sol, which shares the EG chassis family. The bolt pattern, hub bore and thread come from wheel-spec reference sites, which all agree; we have not found them printed in a Honda document. The torque figure does come from Honda.

One reference site says wheels from any 1992-2004 Civic are cross-compatible with an EG, as long as the offset and center bore also match.

Spec	Value	Where it comes from
Bolt pattern	4x100	WheelPrice's EG guide, BoltPattern HQ and TiresWheels for the Civic, Tirefolio for the del Sol (all re-read 2026-11-13)
Hub (center) bore	56.1 mm	Same four reference sites
Lug nut thread	M12x1.5	Same four reference sites
Wheel nut torque	110 N·m (80 ft-lb)	Honda's 1993 Civic service manual and Honda bulletin 92-031 (both re-read 2026-11-13). Reference sites print 108 N·m for the same 80 ft-lb
Factory offset	45 mm (reference sites, not per wheel)	BoltPattern HQ and TiresWheels give 45 mm for the Civic as a whole. Honda prints no offset in the sources we read
Lug nut seat	Not confirmed	BoltPattern HQ's 1995 page lists a ball seat in its spec table but tells buyers to use 60-degree conical nuts; its 1998 page says conical. Match the nuts to your wheels

Factory wheel, tire and brake sizes by trim

Tire sizes for the Civic come from Goodyear's 1992 and 1995 vehicle pages (we have not read the 1993-1994 pages, so a mid-run change could be missing). The del Sol rows come from an enthusiast compilation, The del Sol Guide, with Goodyear's 1994 del Sol page agreeing on tire sizes. Honda's own documents we read do not print wheel widths or offsets for these cars.

Car and years	Wheel	Tire	Brakes (front / rear)	Source
1992-1995 Civic CX and VX	13-inch (width not given)	165/70R13	Front disc / rear drum	Goodyear 1992 and 1995. Honda bulletin 93-029 also names P165/70R13 as an original size
1992-1995 Civic DX; 1992 LX	13-inch (width not given)	175/70R13	Front disc / 180 mm rear drum on the trims in Honda bulletin 92-031	Goodyear 1992 and 1995; Honda bulletins 93-029 and 92-031
1992 EX (body not given); 1995 LX and EX sedan	14-inch (width not given)	175/65R14	Not stated in sources read	Goodyear 1992 and 1995 (tier 1: which EX bodies used it in 1993-1994 is not confirmed)
1992-1995 Civic Si; 1995 EX coupe	14-inch per Goodyear	185/60R14	Not stated in sources read	Goodyear 1992 and 1995. WheelPrice instead lists a 15x6 ET50 Si wheel, so the Si row is marked unclear
1993-1997 del Sol S	13x5 steel with full covers	175/70R13 82S	9.44 in. front disc / rear drum	The del Sol Guide; Goodyear 1994
1993-1997 del Sol Si	14x5.5 alloy	185/60R14 82H	9.44 in. front disc / rear disc	The del Sol Guide; Goodyear 1994; Honda's parts catalog shows the factory rear disc assembly for the Si and VTEC
1994-1997 del Sol VTEC	14-inch alloy	195/60R14 (85V or VR)	Larger front disc (10.44 in. in the guide's tables, 10.3 in. in its feature list) / 9.44 in. rear disc	The del Sol Guide; Goodyear 1994; Honda parts catalog

Aftermarket sizes (guide suggestions, not tested by us)

These sizes come from one wheel marketplace's EG guide, so treat them as starting points, not fitment confirmations. No source measured fender or strut clearance on an EG at a stated ride height.

15x7 or 15x8 is the guide's safest starting point for an EG: it keeps the car light and leaves room for common tire sizes.
15x8 ET20 with 195/45R15 or 205/50R15 is its popular street setup (we list this as a single-source fit, tier 1).
15x7: the guide's text calls 15x7 ET35-40 an easy daily choice, but its "best daily" card shows 15x7 ET15 with 175/50R15. Because the source disagrees with itself, we do not recommend an offset for 15x7.
16x8 at ET20-30 with 195/45R16 or 225/35R16 works per the guide, but it warns that 16x8 and wider are sensitive to offset, tire size, ride height, camber and fender clearance.
15x8.5 ET0 and 16x9.5 ET14 are listed as show or stance setups that usually need camber, air suspension or fender work. They are not direct fits.
Caution: BoltPattern HQ's general tip is to avoid offsets below 35 mm or above 50 mm to prevent rubbing. That conflicts with the low-offset sizes above, so test-fit before you buy tires.
Hub rings: many aftermarket 4x100 wheels are bored larger (73.1 mm is common). Use hub-centric rings with a 56.1 mm inner diameter and an outer size that matches the wheel.

Swapping wheels from other Hondas

1996-2000 Civic (EK) wheels: same 4x100, 56.1 mm and M12x1.5 per reference sites, which also give both generations a 45 mm offset. The 1999-2000 Civic Si's 15-inch alloy with 195/55R15 (Honda's 1999 press release) is larger than any EG factory wheel, so check fender clearance at your ride height. Tier 1.
EG wheels on an EK: the same reasoning applies in reverse (tier 1). See the EK wheel guide.
Civic and del Sol wheels: reference sites give the del Sol the same pattern, bore and thread as the EG Civic.
5x114.3 wheels (for example from an Integra Type R or a JDM EK9 Civic Type R): they do not bolt on. A 5-lug hub conversion is needed.

Rear disc conversion on a drum-brake EG (what owners report)

Honda fitted rear discs to the del Sol Si and VTEC; Honda's parts catalog shows that assembly. Forum posters say some 1992-1995 Civic Si hatches had them too, and one says only some did. Base Civics (CX, DX, LX, VX) have rear drums. The conversion below is forum-reported, not a Honda procedure, so we rate it tier 1. Brakes are safety-critical: have the finished system bled and tested.

Donor arm: owners bolt on the complete disc-brake rear trailing arm from a 1993-1997 del Sol Si or VTEC, a disc-equipped 1992-1995 Civic Si, a 1994-2001 Integra or a 1999-2000 Civic Si. One poster says buying whole arm assemblies (caliper, bracket, rotor, hub, spindle, cables, hoses and shields) is far easier than collecting parts.
Brake lines: match the lines to the caliper. One poster warns that Integra calipers attach their lines differently from del Sol and Civic Si calipers.
Parking-brake cables: disc-type cables are needed, and one poster calls them the hard part. Integra cables are reported to join at a single floor grommet that needs modifying.
Proportioning valve and master cylinder: reports conflict. Two sources call for a four-wheel-disc valve or master cylinder (one suggests the 1999-2000 Civic Si parts as drop-in); one reply says the 1994+ Integra non-ABS master cylinder and booster fit without re-flaring lines; a thread on the 1996-2000 Civic calls the valve optional.
Spindle bolts: posters say they are Torx, often seized, and strip easily.
Trailing arm bushing: Honda bulletin 00-006 lists one rear trailing arm bushing, 52385-SR3-000, for 1988-2000 Civics and 1993-1997 del Sols (tier 3).

Bigger front brakes

EX and Si knuckles: a forum write-up says the 10.3 in. Integra (GS-R type) caliper and rotor bolt to the EX and Si front knuckles.
DX, CX and LX knuckles: not a bolt-on. The same write-up says the caliper bracket tabs on DX knuckles sit closer to the hub; its workaround meant milling about 1/8 in. off the bracket and grinding, and another owner found larger rotors did not line up with a DX caliper. The usual route is to swap to EX knuckles. A fan-site chart lists the 10.3 in. brakes as a bolt-on; we could not reach it today and treat it as conflicting.
del Sol VTEC front brakes: The del Sol Guide's tables give 10.44 in. front discs, but its own feature list says 10.3 in. (against 9.4 in. on other trims) and adds a larger master cylinder and booster. Whether the VTEC set is the same as the 10.3 in. Integra set is unsettled.
Rotors, calipers and brackets move as a set, and pads and hoses must match the caliper.

Related Honda bulletins

Shake on light braking at 35-45 mph (bulletin 92-031, 1992-1994 cars with 180 mm rear drums, by VIN range): Honda's first repair is to re-torque the rear wheel nuts to 110 N·m (80 ft-lb), then replace the drums, then the rear wheels, then refinish the front discs.
Premature tread wear (bulletin 93-029, 1992-1994 Civic and 1994 del Sol): rotate or replace tires, set pressures, torque the rear beam and lower arm bolts and set front toe. For that repair, 13-inch replacements had to be a Bridgestone Turanza S P175/70R13 82S, even on cars that came on P165/70R13; the bulletin does not require a brand for 14-inch tires.

FAQ

What is the bolt pattern on a 1992-1995 Honda Civic?

4x100, with a 56.1 mm hub bore and M12x1.5 lug nuts, per wheel-spec reference sites. The 1993-1997 del Sol uses the same specs.

What is the lug nut torque on an EG Civic?

Honda's 1993 Civic service manual gives 110 N·m (80 ft-lb), and Honda bulletin 92-031 repeats it. Reference sites print 108 N·m for the same 80 ft-lb.

Do 5-lug wheels fit an EG Civic or del Sol?

No. US EG Civics and del Sols are 4x100, so 5x114.3 wheels need a 5-lug hub conversion.

Will 1996-2000 Civic (EK) wheels fit an EG?

Reference sites give both generations the same 4x100, 56.1 mm hub, M12x1.5 thread and 45 mm offset, so they should bolt on. The 15-inch 1999-2000 Si wheel is bigger than any EG factory wheel, so check clearance.

Did the Civic del Sol have rear disc brakes?

Yes on the Si and VTEC, per The del Sol Guide and Honda's parts catalog. The del Sol S has rear drums.

Do 10.3-inch Integra brakes bolt to a DX knuckle?

Not reliably. Owners say they bolt to EX and Si knuckles; on DX knuckles the bracket tabs sit too close to the hub, so the usual route is swapping to EX knuckles.
