I tried fitting the 16x7 gt3s on my wilwoods when I had my civic..without the right spacer the rims will not fit! another option will be shaving down the caliper..

There is a local guy, running the 310mm disc's & wilwood calipers under 15's team dynamic pro race wheels. He had to shave the calipers to make them fit tho.

wait are the GT3's actually a 2 piece rim..nah i doubt it. Should fit and if not a spacer would do. This reminds me of the guy with Grids and Spoon calipers lol.

I was informed Wilwood makes a brake kit that will clear a 15" rim. I guess there's no truth to this rumor?

i have the 11" wilwood kit, it clears most 15" wheels i have ran across. only thing is, i thought it was for my 91 ex hubs (that would not work). so i had to install the old hubs (89 dx civic) and they worked fine. since you have a 99 si civic, not sure if you can get the 11" wilwood that will fit almost all one piece 15" wheels. check with Brian at fastbrakes i am sure he can help you out, he did help me out alot. http://www.fastbrakes.com
