yep, it is called 5 lug. the parts are pretty expensive and you need everything from an rsx or the 04+ Si. Rotors, hubs, e-brake cables, calipers, abs (if u have it) sensor, proportioning valve (not required), and custom axles. I maybe have missed a part or two ...

it'll probably run around $1000 since you're gonna need custom axles...

haha. its 5 lug you want, not 5 hole

but, yeah, its alot of work and a pain in the *** cause you are gonna have to use rsx axels and all that good ****. trust me its not really worth it unless you are doing the k20 swap too. i say just convert to rear disc and be happy with that.

You can get some of these from Tirerack.com . Your wheels might rub if your lowered though.


Edit: wait a minute, thats a 5x100 to 5x108, I dont know if they make a 4 to 5 conversion like that, Ive heard they do, but never seen them.

It's possible to do 4 to 5 lug conversion...I mean look at the K1 Attack. It uses stock suspension components from a honda accord and a audi a4 (i think). Anyways, the A4 uses 5 lug and accord uses 4 lug, so the company had to make an adapter for the accord hub to be 5 lug.

Therefore, it is possible, I just dont know how you're going to do this.

(crappy site though) ive seen them in one of the biggest spanish tuning mags.. "maxituning" so i know they are a know respectable company.. but quoting from the clerks animated dvd "IS IT SAFE!" ???
