did a search but could not find anything certain.
my question is when did the ITR switch from 4x114.3 to 5x114.3?
i found several sources that say the 97 had 4 lugs and the best motoring type R legend
video talks about the upgrade to 5 hole wheels for 98 spec. but it seems odd that honda would release the 5 lug ITR in the states before the japanese market, as well as the 5 lug CTR in 97. does anyone know if the five lug was realeased anywhere else before 98 or possible a mid 97 crossover in japan? Also i'm curious about any other subtle differences between the 97 and 98 domestic ITRs, post links if you have em.
a big TIA.

USDM ITR's all had a 5 lug suspension
JDM ITR's were 4 lug until 98'

So,

97' US ITR = 5 lug
97' JDM ITR = 4 lug

After 97' they were all 5 lug.

If I'm wrong just ban me

 

d0pie is right.....

the only 4-lug R's were jdm 96&97 spec

 

96 spec all others were 5 lug. 97 R was 5 lug USDM and JDM. ONLY 96' was 4x114.3

 

cool, more contradiction.
i'm inclined to go with opie

 

USDM R changes by year:

Also, AFAIK only '96 JDM Rs were 4x114.3

wrong....in both 96&97 all JDM - R's were 4x114.3 . This topic has been beaten over and over and over again! Not to mention i have brochures from all the years...both jdm and usdm~!

 

what does it take to convert a 4lug to a 5 lug?
