Well i got this because someone owed me a bit of cash, and i got the carb rebuilt for a case of 3:2 beer so it wasn't a bad deal, that's all i had to pay for it. it's an 89 LX (i dunno if it's LXI)

You can buy an adapter to go from a 4 to 5 bolt pattern. www.lowboyz.com I think has them.

EDIT That site doesn't work anymore but I'm certain you can find those adapters on then net if you do a search for hub adapters.

And the car is a LX The LX-i cars were fuel injected. And the DX and LX were carbed. And the rare SE-i was FI as well.

If it's carb, then its an LX. LX-i are fuel injected.

Looks really nice man! My first 3g looked exactly like that one! R.I.P. :(

suggestion: sell the 5 luggers and go for 4 lugs.

the adapters fuck up your off set and can be problematic. its just one more thing between your wheels and your car.....sometimes the tires rub up against the wheel well if the rims are big enough and or the car is dropped. but like i said....its just one more thing between your wheels and your axles.....

just my $.02 do what you want

i would sell those rims and buy other ones...too much work and money to change the hubs around.
