Default 5 Lug conversion Honda Accord

I want to start a 5 lug conversion on my 93 Accord wagon, I've heard that I can drill my own holes but I dont see how that can be safe, if it is; May I have your opinion please?
As we can use the hubs from a ITR on a regular Integra, Is there a 5 lug honda/acura car that can be used to swap the 5 lug hubs into my accord?

Thanks in advance.

yeah man, you can just make whatever ya need on the car. just use ur 4 lug hub and weld on another lug, then just get whatever rims u want and drill out another hole

the guys u see on hondatech doing the conversions and etc are just doing the typical jdm flauntin-money shit. backyard people get the same results for cheaper.

Why do you want to do a 5 lug conversion? There's two reasons people do it on Integras: for the bling, or for the way better brakes the ITR has. I don't think the 5 lug Accords have any real enhanced braking compared to the 4 lug.

more wheel options?

do the prelude hubs fit? the 4th gen vtec models had 5 lugs and all 5th gens have 5 lugs.

thanks for the input.

I want to put the acura TL 5spoke wheels on it thats the only reason why i want the conversion not for the same reason they do ITR's i guess lol.
I wouldnt mind doing it "homemade" if i had some guidance so thanx 4 the input, has there been a post about what PHYBER said?
I was thinkin... the 92 acura legen is 5 lug... do ya think it would work on my wagon?

thanks

no documented way to do it yet...its pretty simple tho.

go to your car, remove wheel/tire. looking at the hub, drill a hole large enough for another lug/stud to go thru...and locate it evenly between the other existing hubs.

take a drop of paint and place it in the end of the newly installed stud. then mount your new wheel on the assembly. where ever the paint mark is on the backside of the new wheel, drill a hole there for your new lug to go thru.

clean it all up, install, and go pick up some bitches!
