YES U CAN.. I don't understand why it will be so difficult, got some CASH then get a custom order wheels from japan. I'm sure company like WORK will accept any size, pcd, offset that u needed.

UnLess u r thinking of getting a used wheel, then 5 lugs is a way to go.
I've seen many cars in Indonesia driving on converted PCD, driven one before, felt just the same, but (prob is just me) I'm getting those unsafe feeling driving on those redrilled hub, especially on high speed.

you guys are too shallow .... think about the future...what happen if i need to sell it
who on earth is going to buy a set of 17X10.5+0 wheels that has 4X100 bolt pattern......? my resale market is next to nothing buddy.
thats why 5lug conversion is the way to go.

You'd be surprised. It may take you longer than it would if you had a 7.5 +42 but it can be done.

So you guys say the front suspension is similar to the rsx if so that could mean that the ITR brembo brakes might work too, somebody should check that out because I can get those brembo's real cheap.

For sure we know the front brakes can be swapped out for the DC2 ITR calipers. The caliper mounts are just slightly different, but will work with a little shaving. All thats need is the right rotors and your set.

As for the hubs, I don't know why other companies don't make them. I know for the 240sx they make them. Maybe I should ask a few of those companies to make a few kits.

Also found new hubs for $144ea. Now its just up the machine shop to do quality work.

slightly different? "It all just bolts up with no modifications!"

so i emailed n1 concepts about their 5 lugged k20 fit

and this was their reply i got today

The 5 lug conversion that we did on our vehicle was a custom build. There's really no real way of explaining it correctly as it was a trial/error setup that we did.

The front disc brakes/calipers were off the DC2/EK9 5 lug setup. The rear comes off the JDM EP3 5 lug setup. It took some machining and welding to get the parts in place.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks,

Collin

Who did it else, we can ask, too?

I hope their is a setup where welding isn't necessary.

Your best bed is to get an extra set of wheel hubs and redrill for 5 lug.

OK, why can't we swap the CR-Z's rear 5 lug disk with our 4 lug drums? I would think the front would be even easier. No?

Yes and can add 20 or 30mm offset and it would be unsecure as you can't drill 5 lugs to 4x100 without hitting an existing hole.

This parts are the one of the european Fit with 4 lug disks as I have:
2005 HONDA JAZZ 1.4 ES REAR BRAKE(DISK) - Honda Original Parts from Lings Honda v1.01

The calipers look similar but the rest doesn't.
