The Integra Type R has a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

Beware, the spacers may move the wheels to the outside of the wheel wells where they will rub against the fenders. You're better off replacing the hubs.

The bolt pattern changing wheel spacers are at least 30MM wide. You would need to find wheels that were +30MM more than your wanted offset; very hard to find.
Like NSXTASY said get a full brake conversion

$190 per pair in 10mm to be exact

these are 4x114.3----&gt;5x114.3 adapters

i would reccomend buying the right pattern wheel for your car, though

Of course with these spacers, you need wheels with the extra holes in between the lug holes or else the original studs will touch the back of the wheel

No. This is wrong. If you look at the pic they come with special shorter studs and special flush with the surface of the spacer. If the rims came with the extra holes there would be no need for a conversion now would there?

For the record; I would do this. I don't trust the strength and integrity of such a set up. Just get knock off rims that are the right bolt pattern or do the conversion.

Cheers.

If you're looking for four-lug rims that look like the ones on the Type R, click here.
