Default Will my tires stick out/rub w/ a CRX Si rear disc conversion?

I have a set of CRX RTA's with caliper's and rotors. this swap will be going on a 90 hatch.

now ive read that the DA swap will make the rear wheels stick out a bit, but will the CRX swap do the same?
i am referring to the only thread i can find on this
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1366587

if it does is there anything i can do to avoid this? i plan on dropping the car about 2.5" so will that cause the tires to rub say with 205/50/R15's?

He probably didn't use the right control arms.

I swapped in a rear disk conversion on my '89 HB, wheels don't stick out. I'm using 15"x7" with 195 series tires... 50K+ miles since and no problems.

Only thing I'd tell you to do while you hav the LCA's off of the car is to replace the bushings. Honda OEM available for about $28/bushing. Mine were torn, needed replacing anyway.

yeah. In that pic, he used the wrong upper control arm in the rear. The integra ones are longer, throwing the camber way off.
