what do you guys think about a 5 lug conversion? a you guys know a 3.0cl is a 4 lug. i have been offered a nice 1000+ rims with tires for FREE but the only prob is that its a 5 lug. and i heard i can do a 5 lug conversion. i dont know how much i would cost. do you think it worth its worth spending money on the conversion or just sell them rims?

 

I thought the 4 cylinders were 4 lug and the 6 cylinders are 5 Lug????

 

acutally no. mine is a 97 3.0 and it a 4 lug and i hate it. i want them 18s !

 

all first gen CL'S are 4 lugged...i'm not sure bout the 2nd gens..

CL'S

 

2nd gen are all 5 lug.....as with the accords.

 

You could do a 5 lug conversion. My brother did it to his friends Civic, cost them around 3 bills. He told me it was possible with our CLs too, but nobody tried it yet. What you do is get the hub (I think that's what's its called) and changed them out with ours. But you'll have to find one that fits our car thats a 5 lug.

 

only 6 cyl accords though




Why would you need 5 lug to go w/ 18's?

 

kind of confused... explain it a little more clear

 

all 1st gen 4 lug , 2nd gen 5 lug . no one did conversion before on 4lug CL

 

well i have a set of adapters that i ordered that convert it i found a set of 18 inch niche shocks with brand new khumos for $400 so i ordered the adapter and put them on ...well needless to say i looked like a damn mexican with my wheels sticking out about an inch past my fender wells!!!good news i got rid of them still have the adapters that i paid $250 for and ordered a set of enkies....pics to come ..... so if anyone wants a set of adapters i will get rid of them for $100!!! but good luck on the situation!!!

 

True forgot about that. I think he is getting them for free??

 

so if i wanna find a 5 lug converter... where would i go about finding one?

 

IMHO.... five lug conversion on a 1st gen would be a waste of money.

You'd have to get the five lug hubs, and five lug brake rotors, not to mention other misc. parts. I dunno how much the parts will cost but I'd bet it's over $1k, maybe more. Then the labor to do all of it................. I say sell the rims and tires, there's alot of 18' wheels with the 4-lug pattern.

 

really? that much work... from what i read krazyplaya213 said he only got adapters and it was it. but anyways.. over $1000! damn! hmm im on considering this cuz im getting the rims and tires free! im willing to spend $500 for a 5lug conversion. anyone else with some opion on this that knows about lug conversions?

 

Yea i want these 18s but are 5 lug but yea the 3.0s have 4 lug..it sux i want a converter too..lol but 1000 is way too much!

 

pretty sure blackack has a 5 lug conversion for sale

 

Yeah, check with 97BlackAckCL he has a 5 lug conversion that he's selling. PM him, or im sure he'll be in here soon.

 

holy old thread batman

 

PM sent, you'll find mine much more affordable and it is able to bolt on and unbolt to go back to stock easily. Also, you don't have to pay all the labor to switch your hubs and rotors out. Let me know what you think, thanks guys for lookin out for me
