Default How to fit Civic SI wheels to my new XB ...?

I have Civic Si 06 wheels and I'd like to have those on my new XB 08. I tried to put them on today but it looks like I'm gonna need the spacer. I was wondering if any of you guys have tried to put Si rims or maybe know what kind of spacer I'd need to buy. Any kind of input would be appreciated, thanx! BTW, I love my new XB !!!

Is it hitting the brake calipers? How close is it? Any specs on the Si rims?

Yes... it hits the brake caliper. Here's the spec for the Si wheels: 17x7 45mm offset 215/45-17 (Stock Si Fitment). What kinda spacer would I need ...?

hmm, that's a weird one. It should fit. Can you guesstimate how far off it is? Maybe a 5mm?

I'm not sure how much clearance I'd need. Can somebody guess just looking at the Si wheels specs...?

that's the problem. Given the specs, it should clear. Try some 5mm's and see if it clears. Otherwise, guesstimate the distance from the hub to the rim.
