3.2 type s rims on a 1st gen cl....

If i wanted this to ever happen, what must i do? I like the Type S Rims...and i think they would look good on 1st gens. Im sick of seeing AV6's with these rims..Dammit!! Why arent we 5 lug?

You would have to get the wheels drilled so that they are universal lug pattern or something like that. More trouble then it's worth IMO.

How much would it cost to convert from 4 lug to 5?(On the car I mean)

Probabaly more than you will pay for the wheels.

i think that dustbuster4 looked at doing it. it was in the neighborhood of 300-350.

but dont forget that you also need a hub-puller, and you have to but the actual type-s rims and tires. by the time that you are finished it would be near or over 1000. imo, the type-s rims arent worth that anyway.

There are a couple threads on this:

krazyplaya213 had an adapter put on but it extended the wheels past the wheel well.

And the other was a failed attempt at a 3.2 suspension conversion to make the wheels fit that would have cost $2000-$3000 to make it work......but it didn't.

So I guess the moral of the story is.....forget about the Type S wheels until they make them 4 lug (and that probably won't happen)

Anyone know how hard it would be to slap on the type-S rotors? Is it even posible? If not, I guess we could use the hubs from the prelude instead.

i tried but i failed. cost too much. you need to get new everything! best thing to do its get the break setup from a 00-01 accord. total is about 1000. not worth it. i was offered free 18s but it was 5 lug so i looked into it and just when i was about to do it i backed out.

you can upgrade to the v-6 accord wagon brakes and calipers for the 4cyl's for about 300-400 bucks. you just have to know where to find the calipers...
