Lug Pattern - Honda Prelude Forum

Is there a way to convert our 4-lug pattern to a 5-lug pattern? I am thinking of buying some used rims but they have 5 lugs they are from a 5th gen. How hard and expensive is this to do?

You'd have to get 5 lug hubs. It's expensive unless you have hook-ups. If I were you I'd just find some rims for your car. It'd be a waste of money, especially if you looked a little harder and found the same thing, made for your lug pattern.

maybe you are right

but it seemed like a good deal, they were 5Zigen 5ZR 17in, for $500 but I guess the best thing is to get wheels that were made for my car...

That is a good deal, but the savings will be offset by the cost to convert.

Just look around a little. Our lug pattern is a little hard to find, but it will be worth it.

yeah that is what I am going to do...

four lug has more variety of rims to choose from... but five lugs are more tight up the ass. has up's and down.. but it's a waste of money just get rims for your car. fifth gens are ***

You should buy them anyways and then sell them and make a profit. That's what I'd do.
