why does swapping the engine affect the wheels? am i missing something here?

you can keep your stock lug configuration. The swap won't affect it

sorry, i didn't understand your questions exactly, but 01civicboi is correct ... on the same topic, how much are you getting the engine for? are you getting everything as a package or you trying to find the pieces separately? i've been pondering this possibility as well

You can stay 4 lug, as long as you use gsr axles for the swap. Hasport used the type s axles for the swap but had to use the whole front suspension for the rsx-s. There info already put out about this, just search the site, also the new honda tuning has pics of the swap.

honestly, i would go 5 lug and do a conversion to the RSX rear hubs too...better wheel selection, little better strength...etc...plus itll look badass...people will look at your civic and say "hey! that aint 4 lug like a normal civic!"

i am also curious on how much the swap is costing you. The best that i could do was get the whole front clip of an RSX-S, and the Si Subframe, and 97 GSR axels for $6300. Then i figure about $1500 for the install. If you did better, let me know.
Thanks

For you to keep your civic hubs, brake essemblies, etc. You have to change the "CV joint set, outboard" (straight from the honda diagrams) with ones of a GSR or civic si and put them on your type s axles. Im leaning towards doing the 5 lug conversion on my car because i want 4 wheel disc and better front brakes eventually, so I might as well do that too. Not sure of doing that, but anyways, I threw up a pic of what it looks like on the diagrams, enjoy!
