    Are you serous? And for those rims? Not a good idea IMO. You have way more better rim choices with 5x114.

    why would u want to get rid of a more prominent, more desired and more upgradeable platform to go to the run of the mill typical honda civic rota-rocking bandwagonists that are out there. Dude..and i can almost guarantee you that the whole EPhatch community can agree with me..

    Don't think it would be worth it just to fit some wheels, but that's my opinion. The rims look dated for such a new car...even on the 96-00 Civics they look dated but again my opinion.

    To answer your question...all you would really need are the hubs for all 4 corners. For the front you'd probably be better off buying the knuckle and hub together, to save from having to press your old hub out for the new one.

    Then of course the 4-lug brake rotors. I know the rear calipers are the same and I'm pretty sure the calipers are the same on the front.

    Not a very difficult conversion since you don't need different axles, LCA, calipers, etc.

    Good luck with whatever you decide.

    gtimportfanatic I dont understand how or why that would be stupid.? I am wanting a nice looking 15in wheel. To each is his own. thats what i like you dont see me bashing your flee bay turd blow kit. you like it, it works for you thats all that matters. I like the wheels so why bash me?

    you cant bash my kit because i'm making more power than some name brand turbo kits lol. and the point is to just go fast and im doing that.. doing it very well too.. anyways.. if u want.. i just did a five lug swap on my car.. i got a full 4lug swap i'll sell for cheap. ol .. i wasnt bashing ur idea dude.. its just a backwards idea.. from the other end of the spectrum its a unique thing to do but from the people that do it the other way around(like me) .. it might sound silly... anyways.. lmk if u want the setup

    That is a bad idea, if you want those wheels that bad call roduh and see if they will do a custom pcd if they don't already come in a 5x114.3.
