Honda Accord Type-R Hubs on Accord CE7

[Furious]

Hi guys : Cool:

i'm wondering if it's possible change the original Accord 4 stud hubs with the Accord Type-R 5 stud hubs. I'm going to change calipers and alloys but before i want to be sure that it is possible.

Someone knows if is it possible?

 

Thank you and sorry for my english. : P

Did you found an answer yet? if not, I can ask a friend of mine.

It can be done on a sedan, but is tricky-to-impossible on a wagon due to its thicker rear stub axles. So, you should be fine with a CE7, but I don't know if Type R rear hubs would fit without issues. For the front, you'll also have to change the knuckles, as all 5-stud Hondas did not use the bolt-on front hubs any more. Acura CL hubs & bearings are kown as a nice "work-around" to solve the problem in the US, but are not commonly available in the EU. So, you should regard using complete 1997-2001 Prelude or Accord V6 Coupé front knuckles with hubs and bearings. Rear ones might also fit, stub axles are of same diameter, but i don't know about the hub offset there.

 

Here's a nice overview for the US accord:

But remember: US Accord CD are not the same as EU Accord CE/CC. EU Accord V6 Coupé is close to US sedan and got 5-stud-hubs, while EU CE/CC are more similar to the earlier CB models.

Thanks for your answer. I didn't swapped my hubs yet, but now my ideas are really more clears!
