Couldnt find a post talking about it, but if you have one, reply with link as I'll close this thread.

The 02-04 ep's come as 4 lug correct? I was wondering if anyone knows of any good 5 lug adapters. A good brand that won't break the bank.

4x100 to 5x114.3 adapters are usually 25+ mm thick, so you'd run into rubbing issues on most wheels, and look weird with such skinny wheels/tires, that you'd need to even almost fit.

Also those type of spacer adapters are usually $300+

Just swap to 5 lug and get a brake upgrade, lots of wheel options, and not risk your safety with such large spacer adapters

im not sure on the quality but these adapters can be bought for about 120shipped on ebay.. i know i said it EBAY but its up to you. honestly i WAS considering something like this myself but i just wanna go 1" on 4x100 to 4x100. i have FIT sport wheels and theyre +53offset and somtimes they'll rub inside. 5lug has way more benefits though.

Incorrect. 02-03 have the 4-lugs and the 04-05 are 5-lug. :mwink:
