I've never even cared about a five lug swap for any reason whatsoever.

I think that really makes you OG!
All the real OG wheels are 4 lug!

To me it's more of a "I have money so I'm going to buy a CTR 5lug swap" lol

it has its advantages, mainly the additional wheel options. It doesn't make sense to me to spend nearly a grand, so that you can spend extra grands on wheels with a 5th hole in them.

Can u use the CR-V suspension?

Can u use the CR-V suspension?

i have no idea on that one

 

[CHILD]

Here's some shots that show that wheel damage i've been crying about. It's on the front passenger wheel. From some angles (even in person) it's pretty hard to notice and sometimes its like oh damn

Just wondering. I know you people use the CR-V suspension to make a AWD civic so the idea of doing a CR-V 5-lug came to mind.

 

[jdmstyleEJ8]

I could of swore I read somewhere on here or Honda tech that you couldn't use the CR-V 5 lug set up.. I cant remember tho.. And I'd cry over that dent in my rim too lol

 

[K00PA]

You could use it with slight mods but better off using the DC5 set up cause the angle is better!

...and damn i see why you've tearing up bro! Damn, that s**t would bother the hell out of me!!! It hurts just looking at it...

 

[K-N-2-EK]

First thing id do is move that bisshhh to the rear, if it decides to blow out you'll have waay better control in the rear vs. Front. Just my .02 cents


Side note. is that tire f**ked at the same spot as the dent..it looks like it has a huge stress crack...or slit

 

[K00PA]

^ yeah id move it to the back instead of steer position just for better safety!

Damn, just to think of having a wheel screwed up would make me cringe every time

 

[2slo4u]

that bend would make me crazy cause i'd notice it constantly

 

[crash!]

I'm the same way. It's just for cosmetic (maybe a brake upgrade but still).

If anything I'd go big 4.

The only reason I can see myself doing so is to upgrade brakes. I would probably go 4x114.3 before 5x114.3 though.

The lip of the wheel is bent at a part that doesn't touch the tire whatsoever even along the parts that are not bent so it's not doing any harm. The tire scraped a little bit on the outside. It's not cut into like it may seem.

In person you actually have to look for it in order to notice it (ask me how I know lol) but it does still bother me
