I need to be able to mount a slick on a 13" rim onto my Em1 but my calipers are to big and they hit the wheel when i try to put it on the hub..(13" steelies)

What size wheel spacers would I use to be able to mount them, and If I do use spacers, will I need extended wheel studs?

OKayyyyy......now tell me how to mount my 13 inch and not 14 inch hx wheels... k thanks

Its the side of the caliper that rubs not the face of it. I already tried grinding the corners to make some room but they still rub a lilttle. I wanted to know if spacers would help and If I did get spacers would I need wheel studs

 

impossible. they wont clear no matter what. u can only fit 14s and bigger over em1 brakes. k thanks.

Damnit!! The only thing I can think of...is I have a set of 94 dx front calipers...I already tried mounting them and everything else fits right... So If I use the smaller dx calipers and like a 1/2 inch spacer....??maybe????

 

Sell the f'ing 13's and get some ones that work instead of down grading everything!

Are we talking steelies or wheels for slicks?

you're cool. DO you realize that if he were to use 13's instead of 14s he could run a smaller tire diameter thus creating a higher final drive?

BUT OMG WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO RUN 13s

 

just get some 14's.

i dont really see any other reasonable option.

 

Well, if they don't fit, they don't fit. Accept it. Or downgrade your brakes

You are an ***-hat!!! They dont ******* fit! What else is he gonna do! Final drive, shminal drive! They DONT FIT!

You know what get rid of your brakes..problem solved!

 

The only reason I wanted to run 13"s with slicks is because I got them for free ....they have alot of life left on em' too

 

just get calipers from a civic that comes stock with 13" (such as my 92 dx hatcH) and you'll be good to go... no need for spacers

btw, i'm selling my 13" vx wheels... lightest stock wheels on a honda

 

there are 13s that fit over integra calipers

 

you would need new rotors at the least! Maybe even new knuckles!

I tried that...I work at a dealership so I have acsess to parts...The rotor for any 92-00 civic non-si is the same part number. THe problem with that is that the rotor doesnt fit on the hub of a 99-00 si. And its not really the rotor that is the problem.
My stock calipers stick to much out, so when I put the 94 calipers on they were smaller and fit alittle bit better. But will require some grinding and possibly spacers..

The only reason I started this thread is because I got these things for free and I want them to fit..But I jsut need t obuy some spacers and see what I can do

 

maybe i missed it,but what 13" wheels are you trying to use?
and yes-13" wheels can fit over those brakes.i use 13" Lensos for my drag wheels.fit no problem.

The problem is that I dont want to have to buy new rotors, calipers, pads, and spindels and all that ****...(Not worth it if you ask me)...

Im go to pep boys and buy some spacers and if they dont work then I'm gonna end up selling these things anyway...

IMO it's not worth it to downgrade everything..where I can spend the same amount of money on a set of wheels and tires that would fit then wasting my money on downgraded parts to fit a set of slicks I got for free...
