Default Question about Steelies (pertaining to the Civic/Integra)

Ok so I have a 1992 hatch.

It has Integra rotors front/back.

I recently had my Rotas stolen and had to put the steelies back on ... the rears went on fine, but the front didn't.


Am I wrong in guessing that civic steelies will not fit integra front rotors?

Do I need integra steelies then???

I'm guessing the answer will be yes.... just want to hear it from you more experienced guys.

Also sorry but my search skills for this issue suck majorly


Thanks in advance

Default Re: Question about Steelies (bikeluvr)

I don't know specifically about this. But I know that there are different sizes of Integra rotors (depending on model/year) and different sizes of Civic steelies (ditto). And all Integras came with at least 14" wheels, some of them with 15", whereas older Civics like yours probably had 13" steelies.

In any case, if the steelies aren't clearing the rotors or (more likely) the calipers, then isn't the answer obvious? (I'm not trying to be sarcastic, just stating the obvious.)

no no ... I figured it was pretty obvious ... just wanted to make sure I wasn't "tripping"


The obvious answer seems to be that I need 94+ integra steelies (they are 94+ rotors - I do know all the rotors are the same save for the Type R I believe).

That sounds right.

Also, the '94+ Integra steelies are 14", I believe. You might be able to use '97-00 Civic steelies, which are also 14".

And, of course, another option is to use alloy wheels, rather than steelies. Buy them used and they may not be all that expensive. For example, there are lots of used 15" alloys floating around, like GS-R wheels (fat fives, blades, etc).

Good luck.
