Honda Civic I hatchback (SB1/SG)

Car colour

No wheel in this catalogue fits the Civic I hatch yet. It needs a 4x120 hub with a 67.1 mm bore at 12″, and the catalogue holds US-market factory designs.

Hub 4x120, bore 67.1 mm: how the size bands were set
  • 12″: 155 SR12 · 4–5J · ET40–50. OE steel rims 4Jx12 ET45 (145 R12) and 4.5Jx12 ET45 (155-section tyre) per wheel-size.com and avtoreference.com. EU Civic 1200 on 155 SR12 from 1973, standard by 1977 (automobile-catalog.com, vintagetyres.com). Early 1972 EU cars had 6.00-12 crossply tyres. Width +0.5J and offset ±5 mm are assumed, verify before buying.
  • 4x120 PCD is specific to the first-generation Civic. Every later Civic up to 2005 is 4x100, so later Civic wheels do not bolt on.
  • Centre bore is uncertain: wheel-size.com and its mirrors (avtoreference, wheelpcd.co.uk, tirewheelguide) give 67.1 mm, whattirefits.com gives 56.1 mm. 67.1 is used here: measure the hub before buying.
  • No EU-specific rim width or offset document was found (wheel-size.com rim data for this generation is USDM/JDM); EU rims are assumed identical.
  • Fit means the published size matches. Still check brake-caliper clearance against the spoke profile.
  • All catalogue fitment is US-market (factorywheelwarehouse.com); EU/JDM-only designs are missing for now.
  • Sources: wheel-size.com, avtoreference.com, wheelpcd.co.uk, tirewheelguide.com, whattirefits.com, automobile-catalog.com, vintagetyres.com, en.wikipedia.org.
  • Data confidence: low: PCD agreed by several sources; centre bore conflicts (67.1 vs 56.1); rim data not EU-specific.
