Ummm, any rta from a '90-01 integra will work just fine. Of course, your alignment will be thrown off upon install, but that's nothing a quick alignment won't fix.
...and your wheels won't stick out. I run rta's from a '98 Integra.

for what it's worth, Wes V and I did some measurements on the 90-91 CRX rear disc setup, vs the integra setup. The Integra setup actually is a small amount wider, I believe 5mm per side.

That is quite significant, but I haven't noticed it. If I ran my volks without spacers in the back (+43) they would look tucked in and stupid. But if you're saying they push out 5mm then they shouldn't look silly at +38 (in theory) and would match the front if I ran spacers up there. So I'm not sure I 100% believe the measurements you took, with all due respect.

Re: (nickrps)
I can vouch for the integra RTA's making a difference. A friend of mine did the swap and immediately after the install we noticed his wheels stuck out further. We thought an alignment might change that but it didnt. It was completely noticeable.
Its the whole reason i waited till i found a 90-91 crx si rear disc conversion.

my rear wheels stick out pretty far, too but i always figured it was because its a 7" wide wheel.

Well then I'm on planet freakin' Mars! My rear wheels DO NOT stick out further and I have no rubbing issues running the same offset in the rear as I do up front.

Nah, it wouldnt be so much the 7's as much as your offset and if you have teggy rta's. I have 7's on my car w/ i believe a +43 offset and they look perfect.

Re: (1989CivicSi)
+38 isnt too radical. I suspect it could be your lack of negative camber as well as a meaty 205 tire, along with the teggy rta's. With those 3 factors combined, it makes a big difference.
I found with 15x7 Enkei RPF1's, offset 35, and a 205 tire, the set up stuck out a tick too far for my taste on my hatchback. Maybe with a 195 tire it would have been ok, but i never tried it, i sold them.

Offset on itr wheels is waaay forgiving. Arent they in the high 40's low 50's??

Another thing to keep in mind is that the car doesn't really have the same clearance for wheels from front to rear. It's not really noticeable until you run a more aggressive wheel offset and/or width, but there's definitely a little more room up front for more offset/width/etc.
I've ran 15x7 +30 wheels on the stock front discs and rear drums before, and there was definitely less clearance on the rear wheels. I've seen this on both CRX and Civic HB. Just more info that I've experienced. Take it for what it's worth
