I got my 18" replacement wheels and tires from JSPort but I didn't get a 5th one for full size spare. Doh! I tried contacting JSport again about this but they have not been very helpful.

So where do you order wheels? Wheel Works and pretty much every tire shop around here only does tires despite their names!

I need an 18" KMC hopefully to match my current one (pic below). I also need to get an 255/60 R18 M+S Nitto Grappler Tire. Would be great to get both from same place but not required.

Any help is much appreciated.

Remember, and if I recall correctly, JSport wheels have the correct bore size. The "same" KMC wheel bought at Discount Tire, for example, will not have the correct bore size. You'll need to keep a spacer ring with the wheel so that if or when you need it you'll be sitting correctly on the hub.

I thought that J
Sport said something like that when I bought them. I do not want to deal with Spacers.

I got my kmc off Amazon from a seller called wheel pros and they had the cheapest price and shipped out that day. You just need to get on KMC's website and get the actual product number and match them up.

By actual # you mean the one without needing spacers, correct?

KMC site said the Bully would fit my Passport. Says 38mm which I hope is factory but not sure it is. KM708 BULLY - KMC Wheels

I see that is what you are listing. And the 5 x 120 bolts is the important part for a Passport as well.

So if I can find that exact part # somewhere. One on Amazon I found on the KMC site didn't have 5x120 bolt pattern.

From what I can find, the JSport wheels have a 64.1 mm bore size. And I believe 64.1 mm is the factory bore size that would be found on the factory wheels.

The KMC wheels have a 74.1 mm bore size.

To use the KMC wheels you'll need to use a hub ring (spacer) so they fit correctly. My Petrol wheels need a hub ring and I'm currently using them.

This is so confusing. I have KMC wheels - from JSPort - do they really have a special build for them? I am pretty sure I do not have any spacers installed, they promised that was not needed. How can I check if I do or not? I keep emailing them to get another wheel but they just are not being very helpful, often not responding to emails.

The jsport version has the hub rings for hondas built in whereas the generic kmc has the plastic rings. It doesnt make a huge difference. So no you should not have the little plastic rings in there.

Yes, they were made by KMC specifically for JSport so they could have the OEM bore size.

Is JSport even still selling those wheels? I cannot find them on their website.

They were part of the 'kit' but maybe due to supply problems they have stopped selling them.

Do I have other options for an 18" spare? Maybe a Honda wheel? I couldn't rotate it in then but I can live with that. It should take my Nitto Grappler Tires 255/60 R18 M+S though.

If you are only looking for a wheel with a 64.1 bore thats cool, but I would not worry at all, running a wheel with 74.1 bore.
