Default '97 Accord 5 Lug

I have already done the search and not seen an exact list of parts needed. All I seem to find is people linking dead links, links with no pics, or like

I am installing the conversion on my customers car, I have an endless amount of time and money, access to any parts and all the tools I could ever use so I DONT CARE HOW MUCH IT COST OR WEATHER OR NOT YOU LIKE 4 LUG OVER 5 LUG. ALL I NEED IS AN EXACT PARTS LIST!!!!

(ex

Front
-list parts here
-list parts here
-list parts here
-list parts here

Rear
-list parts here
-list parts here
-list parts here
-list parts here


Thanks
Alex

Its interesting that you say that....because that product is only advertised for 4x100 and 4x108. so, I guess your friend already swaped out his 4x114.3 for a 4x100 swap just so he could use that spacer to convert to 5x114.3.

Seems like alot of work to me. Also, I wouldent trust something like that. Think of the extra stress its going to put on the lugs. instead of the load of the wheel being supported by the hub and lugs, its pushed out and is now 'hanging' in a sense, putting extra force on the lugs.

I dont know how much work was involved and what the job intelled. I know he bought these and made his accord 5 lug.


But that makes sense on putting extra force on the lugs instead of the hub.


He says that he didnt preform the swap . It was all professionally installed.


If it was my car. I dont think I would go that route, Just use the prelude 5 lug hub.

sorry that was no help !!

That doesn't make sense.... Doesn't the accord run a 40+ offset? If you ran a spacer that big you would need like a crazy high offset rim to make up for the thickness.

I did the 5 lug swap with 97 prelude wheels on my 94 lx 2 years ago .

Front
1.) 2 front knuckle from 95-87 Odyssey &lt;--I used or use the hub from the Odyssey.
2) 00 CRV brake calipers &lt;--I used or 91 + legend ,95-97 accord wgn or V6 with the a 23T bracket or others as long as the 23T mounting barcket is used or your wheels might not clear...
3) rotors 95-97 Odyssey ,91-95 legend.

Rear
1) hub from 97-01 prelude w/dust cap - nut will not go all the way in if washer is removed you can tighten far enough to notch.
2) rotors from 98-02 accord V6 use your old calipers.

plus 4 extra lugnuts and new wheels with a new spare tire.

lol thats so true....not to mention that my accord couldnt fit a +30mm offset on a 16x8 wheel with 50 series tires.......so i would highly doubt that with a +44mm spacer in there that you could even run stock EX wheels that are 15x6.5 and +55mm offset. this kid must be full of BS
