If the wheel centers are the same it is easy (3rd gen is 67mm I think) ,position the wheel centered mark the hole positions and drill new holes for the new studs. I will not tell you to remove old studs first or to pull new studs in place . marking and drilling will take time. Garfinkle is going to do my other car (honda) Some machine shops will do this

you could always put four lug hubs on it.... fairly simple. then you either have to convert to the smaller brakes (yuck) or redrill your rotors (better).

i wouldn't advise redrilling a hub from 5 lug to 4 lug. there typically isn't enough metal to support that. you can't just "mark and drill" since the studs have to be very precisely positioned. if one is just a bit off you'll constantly have problems with lug nuts loosening and the wheel holes getting ruined, and possible studs snapping too.

alternatively, you could return the wheels and get the correct ones for the application. this would be the easiest, cheapest, and best way to solve the problem.

I would deffinatly have to agree with peejay. You would be better off returning or selling the 4 lug rims. It would be very difficult to drill holes, and everything else is gonna take down the performace. Best of luck to whatever you decide to do.
