For a quick answer: hubcap size on a 2017 Honda Civic depends on the wheel size installed on your trim. The LX typically uses 16-inch wheels with wheel covers (hubcaps), while higher trims use 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels that do not use hubcaps.
Understanding wheel and hubcap sizes for the 2017 Civic
The 2017 Civic lineup offered different wheel sizes by trim. Below is a general guide to the common configurations you’ll encounter. Exact specs can vary by market and optional packages.
- LX: 16-inch wheels; usually equipped with wheel covers (hubcaps) rather than full alloy rims.
- EX and EX-L: 17-inch alloy wheels; standard configuration does not include hubcaps.
- Touring: 18-inch alloy wheels; standard configuration does not include hubcaps.
Concluding: If you’re shopping for hubcaps, a 2017 Civic with 16-inch wheels (such as the LX or similar) is your best bet. Cars with 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels generally do not use hubcaps in the factory setup. To be sure, check your door jamb sticker or owner's manual to confirm the exact wheel diameter for your vehicle.
How to verify the correct hubcap size on your car
Reliably determine the wheel size by looking at the driver’s side door jamb sticker, which lists the wheel diameter (for example, 16 x 6.0J). The tire size code on the sidewall (such as P215/55R16) also confirms the wheel diameter. If in doubt, consult your vehicle’s VIN build sheet or contact a Honda dealer for the exact specification of your specific car.
Summary: The 2017 Honda Civic does not have a single hubcap size. LX models with 16-inch wheels use 16-inch hubcaps; higher trims with 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels do not use hubcaps in their standard configuration. Always verify the wheel size on the vehicle to ensure you purchase the correct hubcaps or wheel covers.
