You cant be serious 5 lug equals better wheel stability over a four and do you really want smaller brakes its bad enough that the type-s brakes arent good enough but to witch to an si setup is even worse

well it depends on what this guy wants to do. if its for some discontinued rims then i say blah. but some people take their 5 lug and switch to 4 lug for various reasons. but mainly for drag racing. its lighter and you can run certain slicks that only 4 lug can use. but i say **** it and find other discontinued rims for a 5 lug.oh and if you want to trade i have a 2002 ex, if you want to run drums in the rears.

Same reason people convert Type-R's to 4-lug, one to save alittle weight and two, so you can put a 13 inch wheel with a fatter slick.

well the thing is why would you want to change it to a 4 lug? when the rsx is already a 5 lug. why would you want to down grade?

Maybe hes using the Dc5 for a drag car for some odd reason and would like to run bigger slicks by doing the 4 lug conv.

You cannot put smaller than 15" slicks on any RSX (you cant put smaller than 16" on a Type S unless you swap out the Rotors for base model Rotors)
