Eh hit the wheels with your head till it fits?

Seriously how do you expect to put 5 lug rims on a 4 lug hub?

And it is really that hard to see how you might be able to get it to fit? Like if you can find a way to switch your car to 5 lugs you might be able to?

I am not sure if that is possible since I have never seen anyone brothered to.

240 owners do it all the time. You need 5lug hubs to pull this off. However, those wheels will probably be a tight fit at best... not sure of the offset or width, but I suspect it's liable to rub.

you could do wheel adapters but my friend had em on his car and it made the wheel stick out like and inch....kinda looked stupid

your only hope is to change the hub to 5 lug if you want it to look nice and be safe

Base 2.0 don't have disc brakes rear. Does the hub swap require that to be swapped out as well? Just wondering.

Ah, yeah, the brake discs need changing too.

Aren't B16 SE-Rs 5 lug? Seems like those would be the best swap, hubs and brakes should transfer right over.

Yes they are but no ideas if you'll need to change anything else like brake lines, master cylinder and ABS systems stuff.

You'll need the new front and rear hub, front and rear discs and calipers at least. Since the SE R front discs are bigger then the 2.0s front discs. It's a lot of work and money though, but I can see why people would want to do it since I haven't seen many good after market rims.

It'd definitely be simpler and cheaper to find a 4 lug wheel.
