Default 5 lug change over

Hello All

Well I am tired of trying to find 4 lug wheels in my area so I want to change it over. I was wandering what I need to make it as simple as possible. I think up front all I need is bearing hubs and rotors if it is possible to use my brake calipers. I think the rear is basically the same new hubs and drums and backing plates. I have a 98 HX so what do I need to look for what year and sizes do I need. What car do I need them off of. Thanks for all the help.

it's probably going to cost you more to do the conversion and get 5 lug rims than it would cost to just buy a brand new 4-lug rims and tires combo off wheelsnext.com or something

Front.
Civic 96-00 EX or SI Knuckle.
Civic 96-00 EX or SI NEW Bearing assy.
Civic 96-00 EX or SI caliper sub-assy.
Civic 96-00 EX or SI pad's might want to upgrade this.
Civic 96-00 EX or SI brake lines, might want to go SS lines.
ITR 97-01 rotors, might want to get somthing better then OEM.
ITR 97-01 Hub.
Rims and Tires and Lug nuts.

Rear.
Integra 97-01 rear lower arm.
Integra 97-01 rear bearing and assy.
ITR 97-01 rear hub.
ITR 97-01 rear rotors.
Integra rear caliper sub-assy
Integra pads...upgrade
Rims and tires and lug nuts.

Im in the middle of this myself, so far i dont think its worth it. But im thick headed=)
The only thing im not sure of yet is the ITR front rotors on the SI caliper. The rotors look a but larger then the stock.
But this should give you a good idea.

He only said he wants to get rims easier. It would be more cost effective for him to just fork out the extra cash for brand new 4-lug rims from an internet store. They have free shipping, balancing, and mounting anyway.

Doing the 5 lug conversion and buying used 5 lug rims with used tires would probably cost more than buying brand new 4-lug rims with brand new tires. It would be the more economic choice.

And like i said befor, if i had to do it all over again i wouldnt. But he asked what whould it take to do a change over, im just answer his question, im not bashing on him.
If he wants to spent $1,500 then let him.
