    Going 5 lug? There are a few threads on 5 lug upgrades already. A little info will get you better answers. Are you looking for bigger 4 lug rotors or 5 lug?

                          There's not much information on what can be done for the rears. There are so many variables when it comes to rear hub/bearing dimensions on 5-lug Hondas that it borders on absurd. Flange height, flange diameter, inner race diameter and other factors all come into play here so there is no cut and dry answer...yet. There are aftermarket options, though.

                          Keep in mind that unless you proportion it properly read brake upgrades are an exercise in pointlessness, mostly.

                          Also, when you refer to your brake upgrade, I'm sure you're saying that you have the caliper brackets and rotors from a '99-'04 Acura RL. It's best to clarify as the '96-'98 are 11.1" rotors with 28T brackets unlike the newer ones that use 28mm thick 11.8" rotors with proprietary brackets. It eliminates confusion.

                          Anyone seeking pictures for the fronts can find them in the thread I posted about the rotor upgrade a while back.

                              looks good. I think u know this but make sure you use oem style lug nuts. Im using crv steelies for mine. Im using v6 brakes though.
