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.

99-00 si brakes are the same as 94-01 integra brakes(except type-r)

some stock 14" wheels will fit over those brakes listed above. the reason that hx wheels don't fit is because of the design of the spokes as they curve inwards. people have been known to shave their calipers to fit hx over their brakes.

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?

While integra calipers look externally identicle to 99-00 Si calipers (found on Del-Sol VTEC, 93-00 EX 2dr, and and 92-95 Civic & Del Sol w/ ABS too), they are NOT the same!!! The pistons in the Civic caliper are smaller as are the pads. The pads are more expensive than Integra brake pads too since they make/sell less of them. If you have the ability to choose one caliper or the other, pick the one that best suits your brake balance requirements.

If you don't know how caliper pistons effect your brake balance, then you should read through Stoptechs tech & FAQ articles before you mess with your brake system.
