Default RIM QUESTION.

I have a 95 integra ls, and want to have some honda civic hx rims. but the dealer told me that they cannot fit my car. BUt then my buddy said that i can shave off a little bit of my calipers so they dont rub and it will be fine. can anyone agree to this term? thanks to all that had helped.

HX rims don't fit because they're 14's right? I'm sure you could make it fit, but why?

the spoke part of the rim rubs the caliper. either shave part of the caliper or run spacers.

Run spacers! shaving the calipers doesn't sound really safe but it would look kinda crappy-

1/8" spacers. And no these HX rims are 14" not 13". This question has been answered before, in the past few days actually. Search next time.
