How: Convert Waja 4x114.3 to 5x114.3

[LordAlfa]

Has anyone converted their wheel PCDs from 4 lugs to 5 lugs?

I would like to know how and where can this be done. 5x114.3 has more wheel choices for 17".

Get the knuckles with 5x114.3 from another car, say those from a Lancer Evolution IV to Lancer Evolution IX, or those from EK9, DC2, EP3 or a DC5 Type R Hondas since assuming that you don't go 4WD, these will be easier since the ones from Lancer Evos may require a dead axle or something like that for the rear knuckes. Knuckes from FF cars make the job easier if you don't go 4WD.

I know that the mitsubishi platforms are easier and a higher chance of a fit. But Honda?

I say for example only, since the Type R Hondas also has 5x114.3 lugs. Because if those from Lancer Evos may require something like a dead axle for the rear knuckles. That is the reason why we can see odd PCD combinations in some modified Protons, example 4x114.3 in front and 4x100 at the rear. I don't think you need dead axles for the rear knuckes from the Hondas.

It is always important to experiment and ask around. I've never been involved in modifying a car myself so I may not know.

Obviously can. It's only you are willing to do it or not that's all.
