Default wilwood brake kit, 11.00” or 12.19 ?

I am looking at purchasing a Wilwood front brake kit for a 91 CRX, I am running 00' Civic Si rims. Would the 12.19" rotor and caliper fit using the 15" Si rims, or is the 11" rotor the ticket? I have read others posts using the 12.19" but they all seem to be using 16-17" rims. Any advice would help.

Thanks
Kirk R

Whats the purpose of the car? Will there be any track action in this car or just a daily? if its a daily I wouldn't waste the money (on either for that matter).

Ive looked at those too and Im pretty sure you have to run a min of 16'' for 11'' rotor and 17" for 12.19'' rotor. Should also say minimum on their site.....?

11 inch, 12.19 you will need a 16/17 inch wheel, which in turn will add more weight. You dont need anything more than 11 inch

I am fairly certain that you would not be able to rock either of those kits with the Si rims. Not enough clearance. There are several 15" rims that the 11" kit will work with, though - Team Dynamics being one.

Daily driver. I may save my $$ and do a GSR rotor/spindle/booster swap. It wont see any track time. I plan on doing a rear disc conversion as well, GSR rotors and calipers F/R should be good improvement (?)

For a street car a integra brake upgrade will be great upgrade , gets my vote.

This was my last crx with the wilwood 11" kit and 16" rota's you could fit some 15's but it really depended on the offset and i dont think the OEMs fit
