Does anybody know if some 2000 Honda Civic 17" Racing Harts fit on a 72 510???? I know I've heard there is a certain honda rim that will fit on the 510. Does anybody know which one???????

yes. look at the topic "my new 510" or just e-mail me and I'll send you a pick of mine. though mine didn't come from a honda but they have the same bolt pattern. I think you need a 40mm offset?

your going to need adapters or wheel spacers. most honda wheels are 38 - 44mm offset and i belive that your 510 is like the Z with 0 - 10mm offset. thats what i had to do to get wheels for my 280ZX

You will need spacers. honda wheels are usually around 40mm offset. A 510 needs about 22mm offset, so you need about a 18mm spacer (about 3/4 inch). You might be able to find adapters, but it will be hard to find them that thin, they usually only go down to 1". So if thats the case, then you will want to go with slip on spacers and longer wheel studs. You will have to do some massage work to the fender lips and inner fender most likely, since 17" are quite a bit larger diameter. It can be done though. I am using 40mm offset 16" wheels on my 510, with 1/2 spacer on the rear and 3/4 spacer on the front. I have kind of an odd setup, so dont copy my numbers. Both spacers are slip-on style. I installed longer wheel studs too.works good.

P.s The 510 bolt pattern is 4 on 114.3, honda bolt pattern is 4 on 100. Make sure the wheels have the correct bolt pattern.
