Default Smallest wheel and widest tire on EG and EK?

Does anybody know the smallest wheel that will fit over the stock brakes of an EK DX hatch and EG Si? Also, what's the widest tire that anyone's fit on these cars? I'm wondering if it's possible to stretch 13" wheels with 235 wide rubber on the EK or EG for autox purposes. Thanks in advance.

I believe Geratol is running 13s and wide rubber on an Integra GSR, so I'd guess it would work on a Civic. He had to look around for a while to find 13s that fit over the brakes, though.

Thanks for the info Random. Do the GSR and EK DX share the same brakes?

I think the DX came with 9.5" disks, compared with the GS-R's 10.3" disks.

I got HX rims over stock DX brakes...and no DX and GS-R did not share brakes...and the HX rims wont fit over even EX brakes (bigger than DX, not as big as GS-R) and I have a 195 tire on it. Theyre light though...I think about 27 lbs with tires....dont really remember, but I weighed them before I put em on and they were light!

ask in the roadracing/autocross forum and you will get better responses.
I think you can fit 13" wheels over Integra front brake calipers if you use a small spacer, like 5mm or 3mm
most honda 13" wheels can fit over integra rear discs too

Panasport 3-piece wheels are your answer. "RacerMike" uses them on his Integra GSR, in a 13x8.5" size.
