5 lug GSR convo..RSX wheels...help
if i wanted to put the 16x6.5" RSX wheels on my GSR, what all would i need to convert to a 5 lug? could i use RSX suspension and brakes, or should i stick with the ITR convo? would i need the lower control arms and knuckles and all, or could i just ITR rotors and whatever that plate is called that has the studs to mount the wheel to?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

oh, very true. do you think i could just use the rotors and whatever that plate is that has the studs in it? (btw, can someone tell me what that thing is called?)
OR, i could use adapters that fit around my 4x100 pattern that have a 5x114.3 on the other side. i can get a 1/2" adapter i think. that would make my wheels flush with the fender, but it wouldn't stick out past that. def wouldn't look like those dumbass hondas with the wheels sticking out 3 inches past the fender. it would be flush, kinda like the BMWs.
my question about that is, would that affect my handling and cornering? or my braking? i know i sound stupid for asking this right now, but i just want an honest answer. no flaming.

i have the 5 lug ITR susprension on my 96 hatch and can tell you that you need the whole suspension assembly. you need the double wishbone, steering linkages and hub assembly. that should include the rotors and brake calipers as well. and the other guy was right, the RSX suspension would not work. also, a hub adapter to change the bolt pattern is not a wise choice if it is even availiable.
