Default Qustion on specific rims

I really like the Tenzo R ZT-6's and I would like to put some 18" on my 6th gen LX. I there anything I can do to put a 5 bolt pattern on my car?

You can also get lug adapters, they usually run $90 bucks a pair, and they'll switch you from 4.5 to 5.5 or whatever lug you want.

yeah, you'd have to swap the hubs and brake rotors from a V6... and I think you'd have to do a rear disc swap too, as far as I know the LX had drums in the rear.

lug adapters are thick so it can possibly push the wheels farther too far out that rubbing will be a real issue. the only way to make this work with adapters is to get an even higher offset...which in most instances won't happen. you are better off finding a set that fits or going with the axle transplant.

I wouldn't mess around with a lug conversion, the Honda tuner market is huge, you should be able to find a set of wheels out there with the proper lug pattern and offset. Not only will the decreased offset cause potential rubbing issues, but you are lengthening the lever and putting additional stress on the car.
