Will Type-R brakes fit in HX wheels?
Guys,
I just picked up a set of HX wheels (14") and sent them off to get them powdercoated.
I also bought front knuckles, rotors and calipers from a '96 Integra.
Will I be able to fit a Type-R caliper (with apposite rotor) inside the HX wheels?
I know I need to either get a 3mm spacer for the rotor or shave 3mm off of the caliper itself, but my concern right now is the actual wheel clearance with these brakes.
Please let me know, thanks for the help!

I have a '98 EX that had 15" Starks on it. HXes would not ft my stock EX brakes up front.
I went to ITR calipers and the Starks (which clear more than the HXes) will no longer fit on the front.
Not sure how to make them fit. I just went with new wheels.

HX rims will not fit ITR brakes as the rotors are 11". However, HX rims WILL clear EX/Si front brakes but need 5mm spacers or modifications to the caliper bracket. WARNING: DO NOT RUN HX RIMS WITHOUT SHAVING PARTS OF THE BRACKET OFF OR SPACERS. YOU WILL TOTALLY F*** YOUR WHEELS UP.
