at least 5 lug? what do you want 6 lug truck hubs? lol. I've seen people swap prelude hubs over before, alot of work involved though.

Keep the 4 lug hub, and get a rear disc conversion,less work, 4 lug wheels are easy to find and cheaper in most cases.

Yes anyways like I was saying, I was not referring to hub caps. You would need the front knuckle assembly of a odyssey(can be done with prelude but requires more custom fab because the prelude uses a bigger ball joint).

They will need calipers/brackets from any of the following:
94-97 accord wagon, 92-96 prelude dohc vtec, 97-01 prelude, 92-95 legend gs, 97-01 integra type-R

and rotors from any of the following:
97-01 prelude base model, 95-98 odysessy, 97-01 integra type-R, 94-97 accord wagon

That is the front, for the rear you will need the hub and bearing set up from a 97-01 prelude.

You will then be able to run these rotors:
98-02 accord v6 coupe or sedan (note: it must be a v6 model)

its not all too expensive, you can get the front knuckles for the odyssey for about $50-100 a piece.

Not all too sure on the rear hub assembly, about the same price, a little less.

then just reg rotor and caliper prices.

Why not just get adapters? They sell them for 4 lug to 5 lug conversions for about $150.00

Because they suck. Period. If you want to the swap, do it correctly. It's worth shelling out 5 bills to do.
