I don't know if they will fit without replacing your whole hub/bearing assembly..... if I'm not mistaken, S models had 4 bolt hubs and Si and VTEC models are 5 bolt. You better double check that.

it depends on if it's a 5th gen vtec or a 4th gen, since i believe the 4th gen vtec had a 4x114.3 lug pattern. i'm not sure if the bracket will fit on the knuckle/hub but for $150 bucks it sounds like a pretty good deal. you could probably find a way to make it work...

you sir are incorrect. my friends 96 SI has 4 bolt blade rims- its common for 5th accord owners to swap the Si rims from the 4th gen lude.. and ALL 5th gen accords= 4 lugs.

VTEC models = 4 lug

Once I had to replace the rear wheel bearings and the guy mistakenly ordered a 96 vtec bearing, and it's 5-lug.

Mine is a SI, and it has 4 lugs. So yeah vtecs are 5 lugs.
