anyone know which parts are needed for a 4 to 5 lug conversion for the fit?

 

May I ask what the reason/benefit of that would be? I'm not being sarcastic.

 

rim selection is much better with 5 lug.

 

what kind of rims you going for?

 

not sure yet, but want something in the 18" range and most good ones are 5 lug only.

 

what is your price range for rims? there are many companies that sell a good variety of 4 & 5 lug rims. i know volk racing has numerous different sizes and offsets for 4 & 5 lug wheels.

 

I'm thinking the 4 lug with Spoon Sports brake upgrde or something simular will work just fine...

 

yea I would do it too 5 lugs ftw

 

5 lug conversion? count me in, i'm kinda curious how my works would look like. and it probably makes the guys at the meets go "WTF????????!???"

 

i'd rather just convert the drums to disc...until i know what needed to be done

 

to me I would do the whole thing together

 

i am not getting anything bigger than 16s, but i would like the disc

 

there are more rims with 4X100 lug pattern than anything else, in all sizes

 

Higher end multi piece wheels usually come in either 5x114.3 or 5x100 and those wheels are in big sizes, usually no less then 17" up to 19". A real good example is HRE wheels, very high end high quality wheels with a pricetag to match or BBS wheels, not many BBS wheels are offered in 4x100 compared to all there other wheels offered in 5x114.3 or 5x100.

 

what about swapping the hubs/spindles over from a DC5? If you're not changing the whole rear suspension would that be a viable option?

 

true but anything that big will look hella ghey on a fit, i wouldnt go bigger than 17s

 

yeah, the read drum kinda bothers me too.... my 87 integra stops faster than the Fit, and it doesnt even have ABS. all wheel disc, lighter car, w00t!

But hey, you probably *could* swap in some old Acura hardware to get rear disc, not 100% sure. My 'teg is 4x100, so I'm fairly certain that it'd be a doable swap. You'd just have to get I think a check valve to keep the rear brakes from chattering, drum brake equippped cars dont need them, so they usually arent equippped with check valves.

 

I'm still not seeing the need for this conversion

 

Well if you wanted to go 5 lug why not go all the way & go with the 17s DC5 rims?
