5 Bolt hub conversion

[tom]

I'm sure this is not a new question, but I searched and cant find any info.
I have a 92 Protege with 4 bolt wheel hubs...Is there a 5 bolt conversion possible? There are many more choices in rims available for the 5 bolt hubs.

Anyone done this?

Um.... are you serious? The HONDA CIVIC uses the same (4x100) bolt pattern as the Protege... are you telling me there aren't about one trillion choices for rims for the Honda Civic?

you could source GTR hubs, they are 5 lug. Other than that, you could try to custom fit some MPV hubs or something ghetto like that.

And just fyi, there are more rims available for 4 lug than 5 lug. Like LSCRX said, civics, other hondas, most other imports....

theres a pretty damn long list of 4 lugs that will work with your car perfectly.

Why swap to 5-lug? There are more wheels available for 4-lug and it's not like an extra lug will let you put more power down or something... it's just a retarded mod IMHO

4 lug > 5 lug (less mass to rotate )
