Nah type r riims are 5 lug direct bolt on, only thing is you need to run spacers in order for it to sit on the stock offset of 45. The type r rims are 60 offset, so in that case you can rund 15mm spacers to sit in stock location, or 25mm to sit flush with the fenders

you need to find the nearest "up garage" and just walk in there and buy everything you see. dc5R wheels are about 300 a set with tires or less. walk up to the counter and ask them to order you **** from other up garage locations, itll be there in 2 days.

<--has lived in japan for 2 years.

DC5s havent hit junkyards yet in mass quantities. car recyclers are still gettign the pick at them so all the good **** is getting warehoused and sent to the US. if youre near fukuoka, there is a place called sideway auto that has honda everything. go there.

THIS! Definitely find an up garage, that would be one of the first places on my list to go.

also, steering wheels are super cheap over here. momos slightly used are about 20-30 bucks. it seems every japanese person just HAS to put an aftermarket wheel in their car, and because of it, they are laying all over the place, making them dirt cheap. ive got a personal, a momo and a nardi that i dont think i paid more than 100 for all 3.

ill assume youre talking about **** you can fit in your bag.

but again, let up garage do the leg work. the have the entire japan inventory on their computer.
