4-stud to 5-stud?

UnitedWeFall · 9th August 2006, 04:44 PM

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change my hubs? My 1997 Type R is 4-stud and i'm really keen to get myself some factory 16" 2001 Type R mags (as in avatar) which are 5-stud.

As i've said many times in the past, I'm a newb when it comes to anything to do with wheels, so please excuse my lack of correct terminology etc

So has anyone ever done this? Interested to know what's involved.

im pretty sure those ones in the pic are JDM 17" and the nzdm type r mags were 16"

must be possible, I have the 98 itr brakes/hubs on my civic.

BLAZED_RACER · 9th August 2006, 05:42 PM

the cost for parts will kill ya bank balance..

IIRC, strongs sell the 5 stud swap for around 1400.00

depending on how kind a private seller is, privatly you could get a set from 500-800

not worth it if all you want is the 5 lug to fit the wheels, as the brakes etc, are similar spec.

Hmm that's way too expensive. Is there any other option that you know of?

the simple option is there is no other way bar buying a 5 stud hub set.
PM me as I have some for sale...Like you I bought the 5 stud hubs f or the bigger brakes and the nicer CTR/DC5 wheels

Sorry mate. If the price is anything like what was mentioned above, then there's no way i'll be doing it.

Thanks anyway.

BLAZED_RACER · 10th August 2006, 12:09 PM

yeah its not really a worth while swap in your case,

besides, i didnt think the JDM ITR 17" wheel has the correct offset to fit the older teg/civic?

UnitedWeFall · 10th August 2006, 02:00 PM

Ah well. Guess i'm going to have to look for some cheapish 17" wheels in 4-stud instead. Cheers for the help

My 5 stud conversion cost me about $350 all up.
I got the 98spec rotors and calipers for $200 off Wayne from Matamata(cant remember his forum name)
Then got gamans engineering to modify my ef9 hubs to 5stud and machines the drive flange with new bearings.Works a treat

Hayce · 11th August 2006, 01:11 PM

you should buy wayne from matamata a big box of beer :thumbsup:

Thank God 4 Vtec · 11th August 2006, 01:25 PM

Harry DRVTEC from AllmotorGroup also had dc5 wheels and '98spec brake conversion before his ek sedan went of the road..
