Default converting the s2k to a 4 lug???

Hi everyone, I'm not really a technical person but I got this quick question I'm sure some of you will know? here's the situation...

I have a integra gsr at home that recently got converted into the 5 lug rotors from a type r, so it's now using the type r white rims!....I had racing hart rims on the integra before the conversion... unfortunately these rims don't fit my s2k! but now that I have the original gsr 4 lugs off the car... would if be possible to put them onto the s2k? I'm not too sure about the size difference but would that be even a wise thing to do? I love the rims and don't want to sell them so that's why I'm even considering this!

Thanks!

It can probably be done by replacing the hub, but IMO it'd be a very bad idea. First, because the GSR rims are the same size front and rear; the S2000 requires a wider wheel and tire on the back. Second, because the offsets probably wouldn't match. Third, aren't GSR wheels 15"?

Don't forget 4th...4 lugs are WEAKER! Why take a chance just to put some rims on the car? Sell them and find a set of rims that a) fit the S2k and b) don't require you to butcher the car.

I doubt you will be able to find 4 lug hubs for a rear wheel drive car. The hubs you have from your integra are going to be very different.

sell the rims. it's less of a hassle to buy new rims then to convert from 5 to 4 lugs.
