You need a five lug swap- RSX knuckles (all 4), hubs, e-brake cable, 2 more calipers (rear). I can't remember anymore right now. Please use the search function, this topic has been done to death.

Cars that run lug studs with a 4x100 pattern cannot convert to 5x112, without running a very thick adapter due to the fact that the threads overlap slightly. If it were a typical German car that runs studless hubs, you could get away with this much easier.

A shop could make some custom hubs, but it isn't going to be cheap. You'd be better off finding some different wheels, IMO.

VW's use studless hubs on most of their cars. This means that the lug nut (actually, technically it is a lug bolt in this case) has external threads as opposed to internal threads.




Honda's use studded hubs on their cars, where the threads are internal on the lug nuts.




The difference between them is that you cannot put a wheel adapter on a studded hub car (where the bolt patterns overlap) without clearing the car's original lug studs. It is physically impossible.

The EASIEST solution to your request would be to swap in an RSX or EP3 5-lug setup and run 5x114.3 -> 5x112 adapters. Those adapters can be much thinner, as there won't be any lug pattern overlap.

The CHEAPEST solution to your request would be to have the wheels sent out to be filled and re-drilled to 4x100.
