Default Are SI brakes and calipers the same size as Integra LS/RS brakes and calipers?

I'm looking to put a set of 14in wheels on the Civic. The 14in civic special edition wheels are currently on my Integra with no problem.

My question as stated in the title is are SI Brakes and Calipers the same size as Integra LS/RS Brakes and calipers?

I know HX wheels will not fit on a si and they are 14's, but the HX will not fit because of the offset.

The wheels that I have came stock on a civic. They were a package that had to be ordered.

I am trading someone for the 14's but I really don't want to drive 4 hours to find out my wheels wont fit on his car.

The civic EX/SI and Integra's all use the same brake rotor sizes. The CX/DX use smaller brakes so, they can use smaller wheels. The calipers are different on the Integra's and Civics.

Yes, 99-00 Si brakes are the same size as Integra brakes. If I remember correctly they only difference is the caliper piston beingslightly bigger for the Integra.

Thats what I was thinking, but GSR brakes are bigger than mine. Are SI brakes as big as a GSR?

Here are some pics

Anyone else feel the same or have any info?

YES, SI BRAKES ARE THE SAME SIZE! If your brakes are not the same size as GSR/LS brakes then you don't have 99-00 Si brakes. You might have the Eg Si brakes instead.

Tape measure will answer all questions. All you need to know is whether a wheel will fit a stock EX/SI/Integra and if the answer's yes, it'll fit your car.

10.4" is the rotor diameter I believe. Even the GSR uses the 10.4" rotor. The Integra R rotors are 11" as are the Prelude and Acura Legend. R/Lude/Legend rotors require a 15" wheel.

The Civic and Integra calipers are quite different and use different mounting brackets. It's the caliper that has to clear so, I just thought I'd throw that out there. I'm pretty sure any 14" wheel for a honda will work on the 10.4" brakes.
