Default vx rims on coupe

got a set for free and i heard that they can fit if you grind the caliper a little bit and i was woundering if any body has done it and if anybody has had problems.

if you have a dx they will fit, if you have an ex or si they will not fit. 14" wheels will work with the ex/si caliper's with a lil grinding. if you want to get rid of them i might be interested.

Correct. VX wheels will not fit on a EX Coupe due to the brake calipers.

I ran vx/hx wheels on my wifes car and had to run a thin spacer. The wheels were still hubcenteric but cleared the caliper. Simple. Hope that helps.

Sorry for the misinformation. My fault for making an assumption.
