5 lug conversion
 

Ok so is there any way I can use a crv hub assembly, or parts off a crv to switch it to the 5 lug? Just wondering cuz I have everything from the crv laying around.
To go on my 94 dx.

I would go to honda-tech if I was you, I dought anyone will know for sure here. ;)

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

will 5bolt make it faster?

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

nah man, it makes it stronger. so you don't snap your studs off. it's like a dsm w/ a 6 bolt motor. more bolts= mad tight drifting yO

murdoc should know, hes the HMT JdM slut here, hahaha

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

no doesnt make me faster.... will prolly make me slower, but i could care less. its the 1 exterior fixing up type item I want.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

Has anyone ever snapped their studs off? Crashes where the complete suspension is trashed do not count, and neither does overtightening.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

I yes, had 2 studs snap, after 1 lug backed itself off, then the 3rd snapped and i drove down the road on my rotor... was pretty fun actually.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

i was just bein sarcastic, but i spose it would make it stronger. it's not like it would really need it though

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

accually DSM guys swap out 7 bolt motors for 6 bolt motors... :1


not really a fan of spending a shitload of money for 5 lug bolts...not usefull in any way... and you can get the same size brakes for cheaper and bolt right up wihtout needing 5lug...

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

You should be able to do it. might need the ex/si/gsr knuckles w/fast brakes mount.
Front ITR rotors, pads and calipers are interchangable with front CRV same.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

Unless you want to use ITR wheels/brakes, it's fairly useless. It's not like you have to worry about studs breaking with 4 lug, unless you don't torque your wheels down correctly or something. But if your hardware is crappy or not torqued correctly on a 5 lug, you'll have the same problems.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

the brakes will bolt to GSR/SI hubs...

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

If you want ITR Brakes, Just get Si or Teg Steering Knuckles, 94 Accord Wagon Calipers and 93 Prelude Rotors Re-Drilled. same as a type r for about 100-120 bones.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

my stock crx si disks do pretty good, definately wouldnt spend money on a 5 lug conversion.....i'd work towards, maybe a bigger turbo?

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

Some of you guys didnt catch the point. I ALREADY have all the brake setup from a crv, so the only money spent would be getting them on... Im not gunna lie, I want it purely for looks, and the gunmetal itrs.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

I'm calling bullshit about that all happening in one trip. 2 studs snapping at the same time should have made you stop to fix it before another lug broke or backed out and there is no reason for you to be driving still after the 3rd one broke. If you can't tell your wheel is about to fall off after all that, maybe you really do need to invest in a bigger break setup. :-\

Honda-Tech is your source for visual JDM madness upgrades. Not many people care about "upgrades" here that don't make the car perform better, but yes I do see your point about already having the parts. ;)

If im driving down the road with my music cranked I cant hear ----. The car felt like it droped in the front so I slowed down to pull over... but it was to late rite after the 2 snaped the last snapped and it was over. but it was cool, I fell on the dust guard ----, so the only damage was a warped rotor and 1 nut got filled down so bad it fused itself together, so i left it alone. i mean its strogner now than before lol.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

you must be using aftermarket lug nut?

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

No i am now tho, apperently the rims Im using needed aftermarket lugs.... So i was rockin my stock honda lugs thinking its cool, but obvously not. I had to have the lug style that goes inside the rim itself, like a lip on the tip of the lug.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

if ur aftermarket rims does not has tappered bolt holes u will need the correct hub ring to center the rim then use the right nut so it ------ the load evently to all the studs.

i don`t see how 4 bolt is weak and all . I drove over a 3 inch tall curb at 80mph + once with stock LS rims :-X, nothing happened at all.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

I never said they were weak, or that I wasnt an idiot for not knowing about the lugs. I just want a certain set of stock honda rims that only come in the 5 lug.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

just do it and get everyone off your back.
i don't see anything wrong with the swap.
good luck.
don't forget to post pics.

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

dont lie to yourself the ef breaking system really isnt safe to drive with at all

Re: 5 lug conversion
 

yeah just do the damn thang :P. if i had it id do it too!
