Default Hub conversions

Right I dont know if anyone has done this before but I will ask anyway...

Isa it possible to transplant an ITR 5 stud hub onto a 98 civic and if so how difficult a job is it. the main reason for wanting to do this Is to fit bigger 5 stud rims...

anything is possible if you can find the right parts, but its pretty difficult.

no way, its easy. you just get the 5-lug conversion, its the front knuckle and the whole back brake assembly. i would also suggest the integra brake booster/master cylinder and the proportioning valve. but, it is really expensive. i did mine with gsr brakes but the ITR 5-lugs are roughly $1000 bucks just for the conversion.

and fool people into thinking you have a real Type R when you're pushing 100 hp to the wheels.
