Default Spoon calipers conversion in EF8, 4 or 5 lugs....That is the question?

I have a CRX VT (EE8 or EF8) and acquired the Spoon calipers for Civic. Also I´ve acquired the Integra R front and rear knuckles with 5 lugs. My doubt is to know if it is been worth to make the conversion to 5 lugs or to install discs similar to ITR but with 4 lugs. I have verified that in the ITR hub, the ITR rotor is aligned perfect with the Spoon caliper, whereas in the EF8 hubs, the EF8 rotor it is displaced towards the interior. The CRX OEM rotor is 262(10.3") mm and 19mm thickness and ITR 282(11.1") and 21mm respective. If you have some idea, please it writes here .

5 lug makes it a little easier to find replacement parts.

Thank you Steve. I ask myself if preparing discs of ITR but with 4 lugs is a good solution for all the subject, instead of making the conversion to 5 lugs and acquiring new rims and tyres

5 lugs is lot more easy to find replacement parts. If you use EF-8 hub/knuckle you will need a 11.2" 4:100 rotor and a 5mm under rotor spacers to obtain proper clearance to fit the Spoon calipers. If you install the ITR knuckles , you will have camber problems.
