Default 4 stud to 5 stud?

I have found some aloys for my 2001 accord but the design is 5 stud only. It may seem a little extreme but is it possible to convert the 4 stud to a 5 stud pattern?
Thanks in advance
Mike

It is, but to be done right requires alot of work, and if you arent mechanically inclined yourself and pay someone to do it it would cost probably $1000 or more.

And hub adapters will not work, that's not a very safe way to go from 4 to 5 lug.

Sorry, 5x114.3mm is by far the most popular lug pattern between all makes, 4x114.3 is a close second. Proof: if I go to tire rack and enter my car... I get 31 wheels, if i change it to the v6 5 lug I get 194 choices.

99% of all 4x114.3mm wheels are dual-drilled with 4x100mm for teh ghey civics. And that 99% was made up.
