I am trying to adapt a set of custom 16" PRIME rims that originally were made to fit on a Chevy Berretta (5x100 Bolt Pattern) to my 96 Accord LX (4x114.3 Bolt Pattern)

I read on some past threads that if you install anything that is larger than what is speced for the car that they will start rubbing under the wheel wells. I do not plan to lower the car so everything will be stock height.

Can this be done?

yes and no.

first thing to ask it, what is the offset of the wheel?

if you don't mind the way it look, how it affect steering and suspension angle and stress on the studs then yes.

it's most likely to stick out like some "hispanic" lowrider

 

Of course, the problem of dis-similar lug patterns will most likely screw you to the wall; because you've only two ways to address it.

1) Alloy Rim: Machine the Lug Nut holes ovoid (like the original Cragar SS Rims) to the larger diameter, and then run all over hell and back trying to find washers and shouldered lug nuts that will work. And the machine work will have to be perfect, there will be nothing to assure the wheel runs centered, but the lug nut sholders.

2) Alloy and Steel Rim: Run all over Hell and back looking for an adapter which will bolt to the hub, and to which the wheels bolt. The really bad news is: even if you find such an adapter, it will effectively move the rim .75" (minimum) further moving the tire/rim closer to the fender.

Good Luck
