will this work? has it been done? i searched and couldn't find anything.

 

I know ITRs work, I'm curious about the CRV one as well. I would love to replace my GSR blades with some Prelude blades (5 lug). Aren't the CRV rear drums though?

 

i kno some are drum idk if sum have disc i rele dunno maybe maybe not.

 

actually they all drum

 

Is it possible to use the CRV rear 5 lug drum setup as an alternative?

 

i don't think so. seeing as how the rear are driven by cv axels

 

The rear trailing arms on CRV's are different than civic's/interga's. The trailing arm is taller.

 

The front hubs, rotors and calipers are the same between ITR and CRV and you can use those with a non ITR front knuckle and the front will be done but the rear is a different deal. You will need ITR rear trailing arms as they have a 5mm offset on the spindle compared to non ITR.

There was a thread some guy did, not sure if it was here or TI where he frankensteined the parts and used a machined Mazda spindle nut to make the 5 lug work in the rear with non ITR trailing arms but I'm not sure where to find it. Plus if you ask me, I'd rather have the ITR trailing arms.

 

It's actually very simple.

The CR-V uses Civic spindle with a 36mm hub. The same 36mm hub found on JDM ITRs. So you'll need axles. Either hybrid in some prelude/accord outer CV cups, or buy 36mm JDM ITR axles, or I believe that BB6 prelude axles will work straight up. I had a prelude apart in my garage. The axles are the same length as B series axles. They just have a 36mm hub. I believe someone else has confirmed this to work.

The rear brakes from the CR-V are useless for the civic/integra. They're drums anyway.

You can use your EXISTING trailing arms. The ones that are currently on your car. Trailing arms from 88-00 civics and 91-01 integras are ALL THE SAME design.

You need ITR 5 lug rear hubs. They bolt into the trailing arms. Obviously, you'll need rotors, calpiers, brackets, wheel bearings, and pads. And wheels.

Or just buy ITR rear trailing arms complete with hubs/brakes.

There goes your savings versus buying some from a supplier for like $800-1000+. That's why a lot of people don't do this. A CTR 32mm 5 lug full conversion with 5 lug wheels is around $1500 or so from a retailer, IIRC. Ends up being more convenient, albeit maybe SLIGHTLY more expensive...but not much more.

The 5mm offset difference is something completely unrelated. The reason ITR wheels have a +50 offset vs. a +45 offset is because the 5 lug hubs push out 5mm further. The wheels suck in 5mm extra to make up for the hub pushing out. It's all a wash.

**If you use the CRV or civic spindle on an integra or 92-95 civics, you will need an alignment BADLY. The tie rod mounting locations are different.

 

I've got the axles if you want 'em.

 

actually you can't throw itr rear hubs on civic/ls trailing arms. the spindle is smaller on the civ/ls

 

I'm talking about unbolting the entire hub assembly from the rear of the trailing arm via the torx bolts.

 

^^awww. gotcha

 

So, If I wanted to run the rear drum setup just to make it a true 5-Lug CR-V parts donor.

I Should use ITR rear trailing arms, CRV non-rtawd rear drum setup, steel braided lines, and a adj rear camber kit to simply things.

Am I missing anything else?
