13" Steelies on a '97 EK DX Hatchback? Does it fit?

I am getting a free set of 13" with snow tires from my neighbor. Will they fit a '97 DX? I know 14s will but not sure about 13s.

Anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance.

Apparantly they already answered your question, but just go ahead and try putting one of the wheels on your car.

i think it all depends on the offset.... i tried putting a set of generic 14" wheels on my old '96 dx and they wouldn't fit. as already suggested, the best way to find out is to go try it.

Re: (dropd4door)

yes they will because you have the smaller caliper and rotor setup on your car, if you had a brake swap with the brakes from an ex then the wheels would not fit. dx=9.2 rotor, ex =10.2 or 10.3 rotor.
