I am about to complete my 5 lug conversion, but I ran across a minor detail. The offset for my conversion is going to be about 1.5" meaning that my wheel will be out an extra 1.5" from the rotor hub. I plan to lower my car, not far only about 1.5" with the prokit, but do you think that I will have major rubbing problems. Also, do you think the oversteer will be bad since the wheels are out farther? Opinions or input would be helpful.

 

Damn no love today

 

If you're going out 1.5" wouldn't you're tires stick out as much too? right

Have you measured from the tires and seen if it would run into the fenders?

 

is it a full conversion or just the adapters?

 

j/k

 

I have not measured yet, I was just curious what you guys would think of.

or are you just using adapters?

 

I'm having adapters custom fabricated from aircraft aluminum, to convert 4x114.3" to 5x114.3" that is why my wheels will be sticking out, because of the adapters. If the adapters work out, I plan to mold widebody fenders

 

1.5" sounds like a lot.

1.5" is 38.1mm...that's a lot.

 

yup..

even with adapters.. its kinda iffy

 

sorry guys i dont know what im talking about i just woke up and there is a partial crust build up on one of my eyes so i am going to wash it out right now.

 

 

In that link I posted, III has 5mm spacers and it pushed his wheels out quite a bit.

 

97BlackAckCL, what wheels are you getting or already have??

they gotta be nice if you went through all that trouble to do the 5 lug conversion...

 

i put 7X18s with a 1 adapter it rubs on the bumps occasionally be careful i dont recommned having ht rims go out that wide especiall if ur lowering it will event ually screw up ur fender

 

Maybe cause you have an 18" wide wheel?

 

they're WELL worth it. I have the adapters being fabricated, and it was a HUGE pain in the ass getting them but I think that it'll all be worth it.

 

but it sounds like it's too wide, no?

 

Why don't you do a five lug swap off a prelude?

 

 

yo, I'm tryin to do the same to my '97 3.0.. right now I have 17" chrome lexani's. If anyone's from Jax,FL yeah I'm the dude with the white..tint...chrome..spoiler. I just 'inherited' a pair of 18's but they're 5x4.5 and everyone around here looks at me like im speakin chinese when I mention adapters...so can I get some more info about that prelude conversion?

 

if you want more info, just scroll up a few posts and click the link I posted.
