Default VX wheels fit Ek?

Just curious. Will VX wheels fit on a stock '96 coupe? I wasn't sure if they would clear the brakes. Anyone have pics of an EK with VX wheels?

They will fit on anything with the 8.5" brakes, but the 9.3" ex brakes are too large.

On an ex you'll probably need to grind some of the caliper off and/or use 5mm spacers. I know either will work for an hx wheel, you might need to do both for a vx wheel.

So, you're saying HX wheels won't fit an EX without modification?

wouldnt a spacer move the hub outside of the wheel and cuase problems with the hub centric wheels?

and i have integra rear disc brakes, would that also be a factor?
