What about the later Ep3's? They were 5lug.

Hmmm...come to think of it, I don't remember what J's Racing did for their K20/K24-hybrid Fit GT time-attack car's rear lugs. That was 5-lug I believe...I'm sure they also used DC5 front suspension.

Maybe I should check out its appearance in "VTEC Club Vol.5" again.

Not to mention you'd need 20mm more offset on your wheels . . .

perfect wheel fitment means without the use of additional parts to make it perfect....other wise is not really "perfect"

What's the motive for wanting 5 lugs vs. 4?

Finding good wheels used to be a reason . . . but there are just as many (or more) offered in 4x100 as the 5x114.3 spacing.

easiest way to do it is to take hubs off....have them welded, indicate hub bore, redrill. We used to do a lot of this type work in the 1990's for football/basketball/baseball players in Texas. they all wanted wheels that wouldnt fit their cars lol. we did one of two things.
either made the car the bolt circle they needed or made adapters. you can even go as far as having new hubs made from a machine shop.

Getting hubs made by a machine shop seems to be the way to go. It won't be cheap but it'll be done properly.
