Default Am I a dumbass or is there something wrong...

ok so i bought some 18's for my 00 accord ex...the wheels are the universal 8-lug....
my accord is 4 lug...i never even thought to check...but they dont fit...and the dude said they were on his civic...plus i've never seen a universal 8 lug wheel not fit a honda...
maybe i've just been lucky....so am i a dumbass or did they change the pattern a little bit on the somewhat newer models?? im gonna put my money on that im just a dumbass

the accord should be 4x114.3 and most universal 8 lug wheels are 4x100 * 4x114.3

unless its some oddball 4x108 I think?

2000 accord takes 4x114.3, 8-lug universal is 4x100
maybe you could find some wheel spacers that would work...but you might want to try and get your money back

No, seriously, the wider spaced of the two sets of holes *should* work.... still too small?
