5 stud conversion

[xxxlude]

I have an 84 Prelude and i would like to convert to 5 stud's, i've seen some wheel spacer's around, i wont to know if you could get something similar to that. i mean like 4 hole's to bolt on to mine and 5 stud's on the spacer.? :rolleyes:

Don't use those spacer conversion things, they are just plain dangerous. Most aren't properly engineered, and they increase the moment about the hub and place added stress on the studs/hub.

Why do you want to convert to 5 stud? If you are looking for a brake upgrade, a set of slotted rotors and higher temp pads should be fine.

those are illegla and dangerous IMO.

Get it done properly , get a 5 stud front and rear knuckle off a later prelude to suit.

.....Pics of the Prelude please :p

I doubt that you can get 4 stud to 5 stud spacers but those spacers (IMHO) are not a very good idea

Are you trying to use the more modern 5 stud prelude rims?

IMHO i think you should convert the Lude to 5 stud using the prelude system (it should be better because i think you guys aint using front torsion bars)

Well they actually come with there own studs (but those are not the best either)

He could want to change to 5stud because of the more modern Lude rims (which would look SICK on the older lude)

Very true, and then he would have baller status 5 lug too :p

But I just don't see it as a practical and cost effective option. No offense to the OP, but if he/she is looking at spacers to start with, then i don't think he/she realises what is required to convert to 5 stud :wave:

Well if he goes 5lug it will A) Help it carry extra weight (just a though if he decides like my friend to carry engines in the car) B) Bigger and Better Brake options C) Just looks balla

Mate believe me converting older cars to 5 stud isnt easy or simple

I can understand why OP is looking at this option

Sure you cant get those rims in 4 stud?

IMHO 16" will look huge on the Lude (did they come with 13" stockies aswell?)

A 5 stud coversion on the Lude can either be a big thing or a little thing depending on your suspension system (which some slight looking into tells me you dont have the torsion bar combo) and ofcourse BUDGET

If you really wanted to be cheap (and stupid way) you in theory could have someone weld up rotors,machine them and then drill/make new holes (and ofcourse put studs through them) and then data 5 stud (though like i said that isnt the smart way of doing it imho)

the smart way would be fabricating the old system with the 5 stud system which would most likely include bigger brakes and everything but that way you wont need to worry about being defected time and time again for using the spacers or having to freak out when your brakes start to get worn down

as for the car....Ill be honest

Car looks absolutely stunning in that shot (im saving it for my own personal collection) and it makes me want to buy a 2nd gen prelude even more :zip:

I reacon if you are going for a stud swap while you are at it (and what i would do) is pick up some itr stockies and chuck them on :p

Thank's man i've got lot's more to do to it yet, im positive they dont come in 4 stud, the stock wheel's are 14'', and the Ruff wheel's in the pic are 18'', I think i mite have to roll the gard's a bit tho coz there 8.5 wide. :D

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

You most likely are going to have to roll the guards

I did some homework ages ago and discovered that if i wanted 14x7's+ for daily i will need to roll

Good luck mate

Thank's mate
