Default Vx wheels on a stock 94 si brake setup?

I was wondering if anyone has run a set of vx wheels on a stock 94 si hatch with any problems with calipers hitting rims or if there is enough room? Thanks and hope to hear a response soon

If its non ABS they will. If its ABS or someone installed integra front brakes then no.

No, '92 - '95 Si use the same small front brakes as the CX/DX civics. Except the '94 Si ABS models which use EX style rotors and calipers

Honda deceided to go with larger rotors and calipers on all EX coupes, Del Sol Vtecs and on all ABS models.

^ this is correct.

They are different sizes.

non abs are smaller than the abs.

Not for VX wheels. Even HX 14" HX wheels wont fit without grinding the caliper or using wheels spacers.
