How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
On a performance-oriented coupe, the wheel is one of the few components where shaving weight has a compounding effect - less rotational mass means less work for the brakes, the drivetrain, and the chassis on every input. A forged wheel gets there without compromising the strength margin the factory engineered in.
The Honda Prelude runs a 5x120 bolt pattern, 64.1mm center bore, and a 19x8.5J ET60 wheel front and rear from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is F 19x9J ET55 / R 19x9J ET55, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Honda Prelude. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is F 20x9.5J ET50 / R 20x9.5J ET50 - beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Honda Prelude OE Wheel Specs
The 2026 Honda Prelude (Sports Coupe) uses a 5x120 bolt pattern with a 64.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 19x8.5J at ET60, front and rear.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Keeps unsprung weight low to preserve the factory handling balance
- Matches the wider, performance-oriented tire sizing typical of this platform
- Maintains clearance for the factory brake package and suspension geometry
- Balances grip with ride comfort for daily and spirited driving
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Honda Prelude (2026) we drill the 5x120 pattern and cut the centre bore to 64.1mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F 19x9J ET55 / R 19x9J ET55 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Honda Prelude.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F 20x9.5J ET50 / R 20x9.5J ET50 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.
Real-World Fitment Notes
Sixth-generation Prelude (BF1) e:HEV coupe on 235/40ZR19 tires. It shares the 5x120 / 64.1 mm hub with the current Civic, so Civic Si and Type R wheels bolt on - check offset and caliper clearance first.

Decision Guide
1
What's your primary use? Daily commuting → Tier A/B. Weekend street driving → Tier B/C. Show or occasional track use → Tier D/E.
2
What's your budget? Under $800 → Tier A. $800-3,400 → Tier B/C. $3,400+ → Tier D/E.
3
How much does fuel economy matter? Very important → Tier A. Somewhat important → Tier B/C. Not a priority → Tier D/E.
4
Still unsure? Tier C (Balanced / Flush Fit) is the default choice for most Honda Prelude owners.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: F 19x8.5J ET60 → ~7.11″ F backspacing, R 19x8.5J ET60 → ~7.11″ R backspacing
- Flush: F 19x9J ET55 → ~7.17″ F backspacing, R 19x9J ET55 → ~7.17″ R backspacing
- Max: F 20x9.5J ET50 → ~7.22″ F backspacing, R 20x9.5J ET50 → ~7.22″ R backspacing
A Note on Clearance
Final clearance depends on the exact tire model, suspension height, brake package, alignment and vehicle tolerances. A physical test fit is recommended before production.
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Honda spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Honda Prelude? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Custom Forged Wheels for the Honda Prelude (2026)
Everything above is reference data. If you want wheels actually built to it, that is what ANKUSI does: we are a forged wheel factory in Guangzhou, China, IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified, forging on our own 10,000-ton press and producing over 120,000 wheels a year. Forging blank, CNC machining, finishing, coating and inspection all happen in the same building — nothing is subcontracted and nothing is relabelled from another manufacturer.
Every set is cut to order, so the 5x120 pattern and the 64.1mm centre bore are machined for this car specifically rather than shimmed with adaptor rings. Diameter, width, offset, concavity, monoblock or multi-piece construction and the finish are all yours to choose.
Designs we already tool for the 5x120 pattern — each one is re-cut to your sizes and offsets:

RAYS VOLK RACING TE37-Style S PLUS Space Gray 6-Spoke Forged Wheels – Honda Civic Type R Fitment (18-20in, 5x120)

What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Honda Prelude use?
The 2026 Honda Prelude uses a 5x120 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Honda Prelude use?
The Honda Prelude uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x120), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Honda Prelude?
The Honda Prelude's center bore is 64.1mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Honda Prelude?
Factory wheels on the Honda Prelude are 19x8.5J at ET60, front and rear.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Honda Prelude without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is F 20x9.5J ET50 / R 20x9.5J ET50. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Honda Prelude?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend F 19x9J ET55 / R 19x9J ET55 as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Honda Prelude.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Honda Prelude?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Honda Prelude?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 7.17" backspacing up front and 7.17" in the rear.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Honda Prelude?
Yes — the Honda Prelude's factory and our recommended flush/max fitments already use staggered sizing (different width front and rear), and ANKUSI can forge matching staggered sets to your target offsets.
