Default Wrong size bolt pattern- What to do?

Hi. New to the forums.
I just got a 92 Civic DX Hatch. It's very very stock, which is mostly OK as I just use it as a daily driver and don't race. Like everything a few upgrades would be nice and I intend to do them. One of the things I don't like is the wheels. They're the stock 13s that came with it and they have seen many better days. However, I also happen to have set of 15" OZ Racing Wheels (the Hydra style I think). They came off of an otherwise POS 90 Accord we picked up a couple of years ago.

The problem is the bolt patterns don't match up. What is involved in converting my 4x100 Civic to fit the 4x114.3 wheels? Does anyone know about how much the parts would cost? What size tires would I need to have on the rims? They've currently got 195/60 Yokohamas mounted on them. Will that clear the wells on the civic or do I need to go smaller? Am I just going to be better off making a trade with someone for rims that will fit?

thanks for any help.

you can either convert to 4x114 or get different rims. a 60 series tire would be ok, ya just cant dump it. a 4x114 conversion should range from $2-4 hundred. trading wheels would probably be your most cost efficient option unless you a baller...
GL man...

You'd be better off just getting more wheels, less headache and $$

Also keep in mind that only certain rims will like to be redrilled. There have been many stories of ppl redrilling rims (on my other forums) where the rim liked to shake itself loose and come off.

Sell those rims and buy a 4x100 set.
