Re: 17" Si wheels on HCH2?
you will need spacers...which i don't reccomend. but, since it is so little it shouldn't be that big of a deal. 3mm is what you need. it is the same on the other civics besides the Si.

that impression. The regenerative braking is caused by the elecrtic motor -- which is integrated with the flywheel on the engine. Instead of providing boost, that motor acts as a generator charges the battery, so the regenerative braking is essentially a form of engine braking -- there are no additional brake rotors associated with it by the wheels. Fitting a custom wheel should be no different on the Hybrid than the Non-Hybrid Civic.
