Default how to: 4x114.3 conversion on ef chassis

long story short.. bought wheels off of a guy said they were 4x100/4x114.3. come home they dont fit. i measure and they are 4x108 but wheel is stamped 4x100/4x114. anyways so i like these wheels and want to do 4x114.3 conversion. i've looked on here and found a lot of info but most misguiding. does anyone have concrete info on the front/rear hub setup. any help will be appreciated .

the front knuckle doesnt work on a ef it gives a lot of positive camber. dont want to use those spacers either.

sounds like your looking for a perfect fit which aint gonna happen without modification...ditch them wheels and get yourself that same style of wheel in 4x100...if they dont make them in 4x100 and since you dont want to use adapters well then your SOL and i recommend that you make friends with Google...!!!

Front Camber Kit should solve the positive camber....

that should work but to a certain extent.. i believe dc knuckle on ef pushed it out extremely though. what i'm trying to do it figure out if a 4x114 hub can be pushed into a da integra knuckle or a ex civic.. also i have jdm ef9 sir knuckles would a 4x114 hub press into that? any info would be great.

why are you trying to make the car fit the wheels... make the wheels fit the car.

4x100 has a TON of options.

If you can get the hub to press onto the DA then it might fit the SiR knuckle as well, but not the EX. EX has the smaller bearing like the DX/Si knuckle.

positive camber is the least of your worries what you should be worried about the front is the positive caster that you will get bend of the knuckle is more drastic.

there was a link somewhere where they showed that you could get teh 4x114 spindles machined

no, sell the wheel and get ones that fit.
there's bound to be some Jdm fan boi who will buy the wheels from you... then you take that money, and buy a nice set of 15x7s for yourself.

I know this is a rather old thread, but was the solution ever found? I was thinking about taking the ef hub to a machine shop and have it drilled to 4x114.3. Just a thought.

Agreed, looking to do a 4x114 conversion on my ef.

How much positive camber is on these wheen the 4x114 itr hubs are installed? will a camber kit correct for it enough? does it use 36mm axels like 5 lug itr conversions?

rears are a straight bolt on. for the front, press out the 4x114.3 hub. machine the 4x114.3 hub down to fit the civic wheel bearing.

are the rears are a strait bolt? your talking JUST hub correct? or are you talking the complete assembly with LCA?

as far as the front hub, would like to know if the camber kits will adjust for the exxcess camber...

yes straight bolt up.
yes, just hub.
just get 4x114.3 hubs, get them machined down to fit into a DA knuckle.

what excess camber are you referring to?

sorry, for the rears use rear trailing arms with brake assembly. everything else keep for the civic/crx (lower control arms, compensator arms, and upper control arms).

for the fronts, there will be no excess camber because you are still gonna be using the ef or da front spindles, whichever you have on the car now. you are just machining the 4x114.3 hub to fit the ef/da wheel bearing and then press everything into the ef/da spindle.
