Wheel hub spacers to convert from 4x4.5 to 5x4.5 bolt pattern

[b16er]

Who here has done this? I would love to have the ability to use the huge variety of 5-bolt x 4.5 /114.3 wheels on my 1999 LX 5-speed sedan, and this seems by far the simplest route. Swapping half a dozen parts from another car seems ridiculous after I found out these existed about 10 minutes ago. Any input appreciated!

Remember spacer will decrease offset of your vehicle. Other than that I don't see why not. Just make sure you add your spacer offset to rim offset for fitment. Good luck

I speak from no experience as I’m V6 but if it were me I’d go to the effort of doing a legit 5-lug swap over that.

Have these been tested extensively and proven? Post a link if you have one.

I am on stock suspension, in fact the entire car is stock down to the hubcaps and tape deck haha, I would just like to get the wheels out more in line with the fender, and eventually ProKit springs with some good shocks

I have been looking at 25mm spacers. An entire set of 4 made of aluminum for $90, or should I be spacing the front different from the rear?

 

[RedRyder]

The spacers are aluminum, but the studs seated in those spacers are steel, right? Definitely don't want aluminum studs. Yeah, typically fronts are spaced less than the rears. But part of that depends on the offset of the wheels.

$90 sounds like poor quality to me. Why go the cheap route when it can harm your safety?

 

[b16er]

Yeah true. Going to just stick with 4 x 4.5 wheels for now. Thanks for the input.
