    5 lug adapters

    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

    Agreed with everything he said-- for the amount of money you'd spend acquiring the spacer, you could find get a five lug hub setup.

    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.
