Re: 4 Bolt To 5 Bolt Wheel Whats it going to Take?$?

personally, I think you are better off just buying a different set of rims that look like the ones you mention.
There are thousands of different rims out there and I'm sure one of them will look like the ones you like.
It will save you a lot of trouble trying to convert the lug pattern of your car.


If you wish to do it, it's going to take some work.
However, it shouldn't be difficult.
You will probably have to take some parts from a V6 Accord and simply swap them over to your car.
I'm not sure if it's a direct bolt on, but I'm sure it's VERY simular.

What will happen is that you will have to replace the rotor and the "mount" which it is assembled to fit on the car.
It sounds a little easier then done; however, it's not impossible.

My good friend has a Saleen Mustang from the mid 80's
He changed his rotors and they are HUGE.
Anyways, the new rotors are a 5 lug pattern instead of the stock 4. Thus he did a few changes and get the new rotors on and he also go new rims.
It just comes to show that it can be done.



Good luck.
I would check with parts from a V6 Accord and see how expensive they are and if they both on a I4 Accord.
