13" Wheels barely clear my GSR Brakes, pretty sure ITR's have to run 15" Wheels...

dude, it was 3 hrs since you posted last. no need to bump.

Since I'm in the helping mood, I'll answer your question. NO the 13x8 wont clear ITR brakes. A spacer wont help either. The overall diameter of the caliper/rotor setup is bigger than the inside diameter of a 13" wheel barrel. You need to run a 15" wheel with an ITR brake setup.

bumpppp!!

The guy above can get you set with wheels for your application. Spinworks also makes a 15" wheel to fit 5-lug also (buddy of mine just ordered a set and they fit well)

Our STAR5 3 piece forged wheels can be made in any widths from 7 to 14" in 1" increments. We can also custom make it on whatever backspace you need it to be. I can help you with what will work with your car.

The STAR5 is our 5x114 or 5x100 lug pattern wheel. If you have further questions, just email at sales@exospeed.com and we can help you as much as we can.

Absolutely correct unless you run a custom brake setup, I had my ITR 5lug civic ready and able to run 13" diameter wheels. I had my type r rotors machined down to the same exact diameter size as a GSR/LS, I also ran a set of GSR/LS calipers with washers on both inside and outside on the calipers so the pads wouldn't rub on the rotors, clearance is just right for this setup and no brake performance is lost. I ran a set of Bogart flystars with wheel spacers with no issues at all.


Here's an old shot of Nyce1's old civic with the same exact setup that I speak of
