Im pretty sure you need some spacers cuz the brake calipers dont fit under most 13"s.

Not sure how big of them, but if too big ur gonna need some longer studs too.

In other words, get some 14s.

He may be thinking about getting slicks, if you are, then Im pretty sure theres this one brand that makes a rim thatll fit... Im not sure what theyre called because I just read about it browsing somewhere on this forum.

I have heard that there are clearance issues w/ 14" HX wheels. Is this true? Do you have to shave teh caliper a little? I am wanting a set and know where I can get them for cheap, and had planned on it until I heard this problem.

Lenso VPD's (13x7.5) and Rota RB's (13x8) will both fit over GSR calipers, but not by much - I occasionally get rocks stuck between my RB's and the caliper. If you have the smaller brakes, you might have some other options. Those two models will work at the very least though, and they're pretty cheap if you can find them.

Damn. I don't want to do that. My calipers are really clean looking, excellent condition and I had them sprayed and cleared with black high-temp paint. But I guess if I want a set of cheap, light weight wheels, then I will have to.

nope, Integras have 15" spare wheels.

Some people try to fit 13" wheels on cars for autocross in order to be able to run wider wheels without having to modify the fenders (not allowed in many classes). With a 13" wheel you can run the wheel 8" wide and have 225 or 235 tires and still have enough fender clearance to not rub or scrape through the turns.

if you are dead set on 13" wheels you should just swap out your front integra complete knuckles (w/ hubs/calipers/rotors/pads/etc..) to some civic knuckles with the smaller brakes for 13" wheels, just look for something with abs sensors (if you want to keep abs).

Or rather than do all that work, just buy one of the wheels I mentioned in my post above. Both Lensos and Rotas should be less than $500 for four, and fit without requiring any modification.

okay the RS came with a 14" spare wheel. LS and GS-R have 15" spares (so says the Helms manual, and the spare wheel that's sitting in my hatch).

read the posts above, plenty of explanations given for why someone would want to do this.

well maybee he has another kind of wheel picked out, or has a set of wheels he would like to use. its not that much work to swap out a suspension, and barely takes any time, that is if you know what you are doing. I am just giving him options, there is usually more than one way to do things. dont flame, let him decide what is best for his application.
oh, and civic front suspension goes for as little as $50 for both sides
