hi all~,

i have the 98' accord 4cyl...
what would be the bolt pattern, i know its 4 x ? ...

also would i be able to change to a 5-bolt pattern, and add thicker tires?

STOCK TIRE SIZE: 195/65R15
BOLT PATTERN: 4 on 114.3(4.5 in)


What do you mean by thicker? wider, taller side wall?
5 lug conversion would not be cheap, but it can be done.

4x114.3 as stated,

the question is why upgrade to 5 lugs unless you REALLY want a specific set of wheels, or you're putting out mega horsepower (even then 4 lugs will hold a lot)......

But it can be done, and no, it's far from cheap :)

ya, thanks for the info guys,
i was skeptical that the 5 lug conversion was gonna cost alot, i was looking to add wider tires/rims, but wasn't sure how wide i could go with 17's, with out rubbing against the sidewalls, would 17x6 be too wide?

get rims with offset not less then +42mm, if your car is dropped or you're planning on dropping it.
