Does anyone know if the rsx wheel bearing/hub will fit without mod in the ep3 hub. I wanted to put the 07 si wheels on my ep3.

 

ok, I just noticed the 04/05 ep3 wheels are five lug. Does anyone know if 04/05 hub/bearing fit in the 02 knuckle?

 

07 Si wheels will bolt right on an 04-05 EP3 as-is.

 

I know about the 04/05 ep3, but i have a 02.

 

That's a lot of work just to add a set of boat-anchor 07 Si wheels. Not to mention the 5-lug setup itself weighs more than the 4-lug.

I've been interested in swapping to a 5 lug setup on my '02 Si so that I could share a set of track wheels with my ITR. I assume it's more than just the hubs that would need to be changed?

 

try pming FullEP3 cause i know he did a dc5-r conversion on his brake setup so he'll probably know about the 04/05 conversion.

 

I just wanted to be able to mount five lug wheels on my 02. I really not that concerned about the braking upgrade or the weight of the wheel. EP3's are slow anyway.I haven't seen anyone with 06/07 si wheels on an 02/03.

There are SO many more wheel choices for a 4x100 wheel, why would you want to do that?

whatever i was just pointing you towards someone that has done a 5 lug conversion. but here is a guy on ephatch.com that did an rsx 5 lug conversion with somewhat of a write up

http://www.ephatch.com/forum/s...rsion

 

EPHatch has been having a lot of problems the past week or two... Basically when my friend did her Type-S 5lug swap she had to get the following stuff:

Type-S Axles, 02-03 RSX Type-S 5lug swap, Lower Ball Joint, new BOots from Honda $2 each, you can use the EP3 brake lines, new cotter pins, new brake fluid, new axle grease, and you also could use some PB blaster

 

whoa that is alot of stuff to go 5 lug. I think I'll stay w/ four lug.

I know that you can use parts from the base model RSX, then you do not need different axles.

You're correct, I apologize for not making that clear in my post. My friend purchased the Type-S axles, but you can use the base RSX ones as they are 5lug too.

 

ephatch is back up if you want to see that thread.

i was just browsing mugen wheels on kingmotorsports and now i want a 5 lug swap

That's another reason I'd like to do the swap - my bronze MF10s would look sweet on a white EP

 

If you just want the 5 lug setup you can get the hubs and rotors from the 04-05 ep3 and throw those on. I believe everything else is the same. But rsx or ep 5 lug will still require spacers to run the 07 si wheels.

finding an 04/05 5 lug setup would be really hard because not many people swap that out unless they are doing a type r conversion which is rare too. getting the parts from a dealer would cost way too much plus if you are gonna do all that work than why not just do a type s swap and get the advantage of bigger rotors in the front at a much cheaper price than doing the 04/05 si 5 lug swap.

truth...

 

you can swap just the hub/knuckle from a 5 lug its not that hard and if you want to go all out go with type-s suspension

i did it and i love it

here it is


heres the front done




finished product

i love how the bigger front rotor looks in the wheels
plus stopping power

 

ohh by the way with the type s you need axles and front rotors and calipers
rears are the same as your stock ones

also my car is an 03

 

Odyssey on the back? I'm confused lol

 

i wanted to rip off my neighbors odyssey emblem and put it on my car but i've never talked to them and i'm sure they'd figure it out

how much did that trunk load cost you, minus the struts?

 

Mike,

Going 5 lug was the best thing I ever did to the EP3 along with suspension. I recommend the TYPE-S lugs over the DC5R setup though. It's more practical and never had an issue with braking on track with Cobalt pads.

i paid $500 with axles front struts and calipers rotors
complete package oh and wheels too which are for sale now 02 rsx-s $140 obo


and yeah me and friends always made fun of them by calling them "Odyssey Sports" "Odyssey coupes"
