i have a 87 lx coupe that i did a 5 lug conversion using oe parts (front spindles are stock using the original style wheel bearings)

i really like the FR500 wheel but they do not fit over the front hub and the dust cap for the bearings push out the center cap even knowing they will not go past the hub. the offset is +24mm plus they where awfully close to the strut without fitting on. a spacer would make the 17x9 wheel stick to far out of the fender. any suggestions??

anybody know of a true fitting 17" wheel that wil fit the front hubs?

any other options or ideals welcome.

thanks
