I'm still looking into a 5-lug convert for the 4th gens. I know you can do it with 5th gen accords and 1st gen odyssey parts and use 5x114.3 rims.

well, my mechanic is pretty sure i can change my fronts to 6th gen so i don't have pressed on rotors. So if the same is true for 5th gens then you should be able to do the odessy swap on the 4th gens. That make any sence?

Yep. As long as the wheel bearings are the same size you're all set.

BTW, I spoke to Misa, he says since the 4th and 5th gens are the same platform, it'll work on them too.

Yeah, my mechanic say the same. Yay!

As for why i want to:
Gets rid of the captured rotors.
I want 16" Kosei K-1's which come in 5x114.3 and not 4x114.3 bolt patterns.
The odyssey brakes are bigger.
Hey, it's custom.

Don't even care about the prelude rims. Hell I'll settle for odyessy rims for the winter.
