Default Will 13" stock wheel fit over GSR brakes?

I just got a 96 hatch and it still has the standard 13's on it but I had the integra brakes fro the front and rear...anyone know if these tiny wheels will fit over the teg brakes?

No way, you need at least a 14" rim (ie the Integra RS, etc). Even some 14's don't work so just double check to make sure.

I know for a fact that a 13" wheel will fit over GSR brakes with the proper offset

That's why I said proper backspacing. My bad. To the OP: No OEM honda 13" wheel will work on your car with integra brakes

The rears are not a problem, but the GSR front calipers have a little ridge on them that prevents most 14" wheels from fitting. I originally planned to run 14" Miata daisies on my del Sol, but they wouldn't clear the caliper by a long shot. My 14" Panasports do clear the brakes, just.

Unfortunately the pics are gone from this thread which shows how to get 14" rims to fit over the calipers by grinding the ridge down.

True, but why get 14's up front and 13's in the rear? lol

Well, only the front brakes have that ridge, and that's what I was pointing out. I suggest 14's all around...that's what I'm running on my EJ1. GSR brakes in front, EX discs in the back (which are the same rear discs as the GSR, AFAIK)
