Default 5 lug conversion

(I know it is exspensive) but is there anyway i can do the 5 lug conversion without doing the whole type r conversion?

Look in the suspension forum, there is a thread detailing how to do it using CRV front spindles and some of your existing rear stuff... I think most are finding it is $700 with all new parts

CR-V front spindles. For the rear, I'm not sure. I got mine from a CTR for $350 from a junkyard with other good stuff.

Ive seen people get the hubs redrilled by a machine shop cost about 300 for all 4 but you can tell the break rotors are smaller.

you have your front hubs pressed off and you need to take the rear assembly apart to take that hub off (i hope you have rear disc because ive never seen it on drums!) you go to a machine shop and the will re-drill the 5 lug holes for you and press in the studs. You go home but it all back together and you now have 5 lugs.

I do not by any means endorse this to anyone who has a high power car because this will weaken the hub. If its just for show it can be done I don't have one of my boys civic he sold it a while back but i do have one of my in-laws 96 accord.

You can buy my CRV 4x4 conversion stuff and then you'll have the parts to build a 5 lug setup

Lucky you, I'm in Pensacola too!

also if its not done by a DAM GOOD machine shop.... youll be wasting even more money! if the holes are not perfectly centered then your wheels will not spin true.... id be like spinning a speed wrench... your axles would be turning fine but your wheels would be spaced out throwing off the balance as well as seem like the wheels keeps trying to bounce off the road at any speed...
