question on 5 lug conversion

I saw starboy's thread where he did the 5 lug conversion and didn't want to hijack his thread with this question but it was mentioned about some spacers that are made that will convert the 4 lug to 5 lug. My question is what off set rims would you need with these spacers if someone was going to go the easy route using these. With 5 lugs a whole new door is opened up for rim choices and that is why I am asking. I have just purchased my rims not very long ago and really do not plan on swapping them anytime soon but may be something others may be interested in even if I do not do it myself. Also where is a good place to get the spacers from

There's a small group of Honda guys that run 4 to 5 lug adapters. I doubt anyone else on here has had them. If you can find the conversion kit you'd like to use, maybe someone could help on finding the correct offset.

Some of the ones I've seen are a 2 piece design with allen bolts holding them together. They're also 50mm thick which might limit the wheel choices. The 1 piece design I've seen looks more safe, but is an ebay brand I've never heard of.

A Prelude 5 lug conversion is also an option.

i've had a set for sale for several years, but no one ever bought them. They've just been sitting on the shelf. I had them custom made but never used them because the 5 lug rims I bought were beat and I didn't want to use them

Not sure on what offset you would need, it really depends on how low your car is, and how big the spacers are

Do you still have these and if so will a 5x114.3 wheel fit? +40 offset?
