Hello
I was planning to do a rear disk swap on a 1998 civic hatch DX.
I might be from a integra or 99-00 Civic SI
and I was wondering if a stock steel rim 14" will clear the rear disk setup.
Thanx

 

i dont see why not .. i got integra rear disk brake on my 96 HB .. stock 14" on it too for now .. =D

 

thanx 4 the info.
I need new brakes for the rear so i rather do the swap to disk.
and now knowing that the 14" will fit save me some money from buying rims & tires.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure about the ek models, but I did a rear disc conversion on my eg and I'm still rockin out the steelies on mine.

 

As far as the rears go you can run 13s. If you're using civic EX/Si or Integra front brakes you'll need at least 14s on the front.

 

So ex/si front disk will fit with 14" rims. wow that just opened up some more project.
thanx so much for the info people.

 

You will clear 14" rims in the rear with 00 si disc, but if you got 00 si brake setup on the front then 14's wont clear.

 

so youre sayin 14s wont fit on the front of an si..??

 

they will fit. they just wont fit anything lower than 14 inch rims. i got first hand experience on this.

 

 

 

OK i'm really confused on the front brakes. so will a 14" fit in the front??
I checked online and i didn't see any difference in part #
I compaired the following models from rotor, caliper assembly, knuckle, ect..
2000 civic SI front brake m/t
1999 civic SI front brake m/t
1999 civic EX front brake m/t or auto non abs
1998 civic EX front brake m/t or auto non abs
so ex or si model auto or manual 1998-2000 are same front brake assembly.
correct me if i'm wrong.

 

dude, you'll be fine running 14" rims all around.

it will clear

 

14" steelies will clear in the front, a lot of base model RS Integras and all EX civics came with 14" steel wheels. At least some 14" Alloys (including the HX) don't clear without using wheel spacers or grinding down the front calipers.
