I want to fit 114.3 x 5 PCD wheels onto a 4th gen which has a 114.3 x 4 PCD??

Any suggestions?

You can get hub adaptors - been using them on trucks for years now for fitting 10 stud semi rig wheels to 8 stud hubs on trucks.

Dunno where to get them from in this country, but google search for hub adaptors and should be able to get something Very Happy

The DC2 'Teg had Accord hubs on a Civic Chassis for 5-stud wheels.

I assume 5G hubs will fit your uprights, but you might need to change the uprights (and poss driveshatfs!) too. It could be very simple or a right PIA!

Full hub swap from a 5th gen will work.
Remember something about large washers needed for the driveshafts to space them out a small bit. Smile

3 write ups here for you - pics are with the PP ones, the PO one has quite a bit of written detail.

Actually, it was from stupid 5th gen owners having the tyres put on the wrong way round before the clever 4th gen owners bought them Laughing

Its a really subtle mod but it makes you scratch your head at first if you don't know it's got 5 studs Very Happy

Stupid 4th geners are dumb enough to buy them and even dumber not to have them changed over... Laughing

They do look cool.. If i ever brought a 4th gen i would defo do a 5 stud conversion..

Isn't 5 stud conversion really simple. Just have to buy all the stuff from 5th gen prelude and bobs ur uncle..

The 5th gen saw blade rims aren't that easy to find in the states. Average cost of them is about $400 from what I've been told by mates.

And these are just photos of when they've just done them, they put new tyres on not long after Very Happy

It's kinda simple but you have to do spacers and other bits on the front end and use longer brake lines as stock 4th gen ones aren't long enough.

Its good that 5th gen alloys here go for peanut prices.. Im gona tell my sister to get a 4th gen so outside my house we can have 4th and 5th gen.. Then i'll tell her to do 5 stud conversion... hate-cool

A company in Crediton Devon called Rare Rims who specialise in Rota Rims will do Hub adaptors for any PCD and post them.

Bought some rims from them for my 200SX and they were really helpful.

Obviously they will have to act as a spacer in order to bolt them on and get the new stud / hole pattern but if you fancy a set of rims non-5x114.3 this would be a reasonably cheap way of being different!
