Fwiw, I bought 2 of the flat type center caps for the fronts and 2 of the raised type for the rears and they fit perfectly. I don't know if the flat ones fit the rears, but I wanted to be safe.

^^^I think you mean diameter. Make sure you buy the 73mm bore center caps as those are for the 5x114.3 The 63mm bore center caps are for the 4x100 wheels.I'm ready to buy center caps so I'll be test fitting my wheels soon and give you guys the verdict for the rear. Lets hope we can put the flat type on the rear.

if you remember back to high school geometry, the circumference of a circle can be expressed as either C = Pi x D, or C = Pi x 2r, where D is the diameter and r is the radius, therefore identical circles with have both the same radius and the same diameter. but more to the point, you are correct, i should have been more specific- as long as you get the right size bore for your wheels, both variants of center cap will be the same.

I see that a lot of you guys are running Advan flat caps on the RG-D's... has anyone run flat caps on a similarly sized 17x9 +45 RZ rear? Or do they not clear the hub because of the different face/disk thickness?

hahaha I had white RG's when I owned my civic hatchback. It took my awhile to get used to RG2 when they first came out. I fell in love with the RG-D right when it came out.

Just arrive today!!!!
