    Just need an answer. I am getting my son an older civic and he wants the old r98's I took of my MCS. Does anyone know if they will fit?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think itll depend on his rear wheel well size.

    My bridgespokes with rather large tires, fit my fiances 95 corolla up front ok, but the rear wheel wells are so small they hit.

    Bolt em on and see?

    edit I vote yes, see here:

    Yup, they'll fit perfect. Same bolt pattern and center bore. Watch out for rubbing - when I bought a set of wheels that came off a Honda, they had 205/40-17 tires, which are smaller than the standard MINI 205/45-17 size.

    Thanks for the link. I think the r98's will look good.
