5-bolt conversion
Here's the pics of the finished product for those that were asking. yeah I have 3 left rims...like whateva!
Simple swap as detailed by someone else
-5th gen BASE front knuckles/bearings/hubs/rotors/ (calipers not needed if you have a VTEC already)
- 5x114.3 rims
- 5ht gen rear spindles/hubs/rotors/ (calipers not needed)
IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION
Special Thanks to go pre from PO.com for bringing this up!

[BApparently the 4th gen axle spline is too long for the 5th gen hub. When I torqued down the axle nut, it ran out of threads and did not seat the spline through the hub fully. As soon as I drove the car the bearing came loose.
I don't know if this is an issue with all 5th gen hubs, but I tried 2 different ones from a 98 and had the problem with both.
To fix the situation, I used a washer under the axle nut. That gives the nut more room so it can pull the axle in all the way. [/B]</TD></TR></TABLE>
So to make sure you don't just ruin your wheel bearings you need either
1. Enough washers so that the axle tightens
2. 5th gen axles.
Do it!

thanks.</TD></TR></TABLE>Using all new OEM honda parts its around 900-1k at least that is what it is for 5th gen accords for pretty much the same parts only using odysee/v6 accord front end parts rather than the 5th gen lude. Junk yard parts are much cheaper....
