4lug to 5lug conversion? just switch hubs?

I was wonder what is all involved with doing a 5 lug conversion. Can I just use the 5 lug hub assembly from a 3.2TL, and swap them on my 2.5TL, of course I would also need 5 hole rotors. Any input on this?, it seems most wheels I like dont come in a 4 lug pattern (4x114.3)

yeah, if at all possible, avoid adapter kits. try it and make it a DIY thread. because i know that 240's swap over.
Goodluck

Anybody know where I can download or buy a microfiche of the car, so Ican compare the 2.5tl and 3.2tl part numbers? I hope it will work, cause they are the same exact car except for engines, and 5 lug, and maybe suspension(I'm guessing different spring rates, cause the 3.2tl is proably heaver).

I just compared parts between the 2.5 and 3.2, and the front has totally different parts, the whole hub assembly, knuckle, lower arm, brakes, etc... looks like everything will need to be changed. :/

okay, I have been doing searches and research all morning untill now....and this is what I came up with. It is very possible to do it!!!!!!!!!!!

our 2.5tl's share the same suspension as 94-97 honda accords. There are alot of accord guys which did the 5 lug conversion.

what we would need for the conversion is:
Front:
98 Honda Odyessy Hubs/wheel bearing assembly+rotor

Rear:
3.2tl hub/wheel bearing assmbly+rotor

I'm not to sure how much all this would cost though

hope whit helps with anything.
