Default 17x9.5 SSR Competition

I have looked at ssr comps and i noticed you can get 17 x 9.5 i thought that was amazingly wide and wondered if they would fit on a 97 civic coupe. they are 5 lug and my car is 4 lug so could i get a conversion done to fit them?

...or you'll need to use a very large spacer with extended lugs and optimally mold in some fender flares so it doesn't look ghetto. I wouldn't do it myself, though - almost seems like you'd get too much traction with something that big.

7.5 is the biggest you can put on a civic without it rubbing you shocktower
