Does anyone know where to get the 5 lug conversion from? Anyone have parts numbers to the spindles and hubs form the the JDM fit? I would like to convert my 4 lug to 5 lug to get a decent set of wheels on the fit!!!!

 

Just do what one guy did and drill into your hubs and drums! hahahah

Seriously, I think you need to do a DC5 swap.

 

I would but I am not like that... If I am going to do it I am going to do it right... It would look sick on Brembo's

 

Just out of curiosity, what do you think the spindles and hubs from a jdm fit are going to do for you? Unless you are talking about whats needed to convert the rear from drums, if so it is a lot more than just those parts.

 

I have yet to see pictures of 5 lug on a fit. Interesting.

 

Of course I am just trying to grasp the situation.

 

did u wana do a whole spindle change or just 5-lug conversion? I think t00l or sum1 else had 1 of those adapters from 4-5lug converter back then. I'm really sorry, i don't remember who it was, but that's an easy way of going about it w/o too much hassle and it'll give u xtra clearance for a bbk too!

 

I wonder if you could use the Civic Si suspension? or any other 5 lug honda suspension.

 

+1 on that!

 

cause DC5 supsension 5 lug and all is like a thousand used granted its brembo. But i rather spend a little less since im not going to be tracking it competively.

 

5-lug up front and 4-lug in back.

 

just buy TYPE-R suspension
it'll work


and den u can buy my track r's 5lug for 550$
with tires..

 

IamRay ran 5 lug adapters a long time ago with ITR wheels. He switched back to 4 lug now.

 

IAMRAY!!! I just remembered it was sum1 high up

I didn't kno dc5's came with brembos!?!?!? On the real tho, 1k isn't that bad when you consider a gangsta kit like Project Mu is like what, over 3k?

but ITR components actually fit? Seriously?

 

Converting 4 bolt to 5 bolt wheels is a huge waste of money and time. Thweight alone of the adapters make them worse than stock, not even mention the 25+mm change in offset.

 

It's not a waste of money to everyone. To me (wheel whore) a 5x114 conversion would give me a TON of options for wheels. Most of the awesome, classic wheels did not come in 4x100, and 5x114 wheels are typically cheaper in Japan. So while it would run more money to swap over, in the long run it would save me money.

 

uh huh. checked the availability of wheels with 62 to 75 mm offset? The further out you push the dish the farther you have to come back in with the rim if you want the wheel in about the same place. The thinnest 5 bolt to 4 bolt adapter here is at least an inch thick (25+mm)
And of course don't concern yourself with increased bearing loads.

 

i may just get some custom 4X100 wheels and call it a day. lol. maybe a BBK depending on the finances

 

I was talking along the lines of a full hub swap, not a bolt on adapter. In general, wheels in Japan that are 5x114 a cheaper than those in different bolt patterns... and typically higher offsets are cheaper than lower ones. And i'm not going to check on a wheel with anything near a 62 or higher offset. let alone a 50. Come on man, you know me. Low offset FTW.

BTW the thinnest adapter I've seen running was 15mm.

 

seriously? 15mm adapter??? where?
