Why do you need a 5 lug conversion?

Also, it would help if you posted in the EG/EK forum: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/

yes it would fit but 18" I don't think so! get some CTR's it's worth it I have it on my ek you can stop on a dime! looks & performance you never go wrong!

17's barely, fit on honda, but 18's would look kinda monster. youd probably have to go with some 40 or 45 tires. and the 5 lug would work same as the ctr.

I've got CRV hubs, RSX brakes for the front, and the ITR rear hubs, and Brakes if you want them. 5x114.3. All you'd need is rear trailing arms(with ebrake cables). I'm going to sell it cheap and convert my car back to 4-lug so I can put Lensos on it for the strip.

The stuff for the rear is all New, minus the Calipers. And it has not been installed. The front was installed on the shell when I bought it, but like I said I don't even want the ****, because it makes it damn near impossible to find lensos for.
