Default Size rim On RSX

Hey was up. My bro has an 04 RSX-S and he wants to put 15"s in the front so he can put nice sticky tires on them and have his 16"s as daily driver tires. So i wanna know if 15"s will fit over his brakes. Thanks.

rsx's look terrible with small wheels, they can't pull off the 15" rota look like EG's and EK's can. If it's for drag radials thats one thing, but not for everyday. Check http://www.tires.com to get the dimensions of the smallest wheel you can run. Just use their site as if you were buying wheels.

15s are deff too small for everyday driving. im not even sure if they would clear the brakes. check clubrsx tho there are many people running slicks there.

im not sure that 15s are possible on the rsx because i tried puttin on usdm 15'' gunmetal type r wheels on my front because they had slicks on them and it wouldnt clear the caliper
im guessing the only you can put those on is if you sand down your caliper and get spacers

There are a few 15's that can fit.

Team Dynamics Racing has Pro Race 1 and 1.2 models which both fit (even over ITR Brembos) -- I've also seen them on other Hondas at autocrosses specifically because they're some of the smallest rims to fit.

I believe 15" SSR Comps will fit, too.

If I decide to go with sticky tires on a third set of wheels, I'll probably put them on 15" Pro Race 1's or 1.2's for my EP3, which has a Type-S brake swap.
