Changing the stud pattern on 5th gen

[mahery]

Hey all, I have a 2001 Prelude, 4 stud, looking to change the stud pattern to put my mags on that I had on my previous car which are 5 stud (they are multi fit so i cant have them machined again) does anyone know if you can change it to 5 stud and what parts i would need and how much it would cost? thanks guys

Easiest Way - sell Si, buy a VTiR - it would cost you less.

Conversion, looking at $900 minimum

Ahh, so the VTI-r has the 5 stud does it, im sorry I didnt know, do you know what parts I would need, the best place to get them?

[redliner]

do you really need to change it though? best spent on other mods

[azjs]

Or just get better mags :) Tough to justify the cost to convert... (unless you really really love them mags and don't want to change them over EVAR)

Yeah I really really like the mags I have, ive got 18" Vault Krystal's, they are awesome, id rather change the stud pattern....where could I find these parts, do VTI-Rs have 5 stud?? im not sure.

[ECU-MAN]

you need to replace the hubs and rotors. from a vtir, I am unsure if the drive shafts will fit the hubs.

[mahery]

thanks ecu-man, would you buy them second hand or best off brand new??? what would you think pricing would be

[ECU-MAN]

no idea, I would go 2nd hand, new will cost abit id say , but I would amuse my self and get a price from a dealer anyway just to be sure.

[mahery]

Thanks mate, appreciate it! i'll let you know how I go!

[[stealth]]

[redliner]

but it damn hard to sell 5 studs or izit just me.

[vtek]

why dont you go to the wreckers and ask if they do an exchange like give them your rotors and pay extra for their rotors, that way you dont have spare shit lieying around.

[mahery]

yeah ill try that and let u know how it goes!
