Default rear disk question

I recently did a rear disk conversion on my 91 hatch. I used an assembly out of a 92 integra. Can anyone tell me if its normal for it to increase the track width? I just got it back from alignment and my rear tires stick out over an inch on each side.

did you use the original upper control arm? if you used the integra one its longer. so you may just need to swap your stock one back in.

I used an adjustable upper arm and I used a pic lower arm for a civic hatch.

I'm not positive which toe adjuster is in there. I gave the shop doing the alignment both civic and integra toe adjusters. They somehow lost the set that they told me didn't fit at all so I'm not positive which is in. I adjusted my upper arm on my own just to tuck the top of the tire in and now its got some neg camber but I'm more concerned about the toe because now its toed in with no more adjustment out. Its almost like my lower arms are too long but every set of those that I have all measure the same size 21.4 inches.

Some people will tell you no. But I can tell you yes for sure. I did the swap and also pushed out my rear wheels a bit, and using all Civic parts. My buddy years ago did the swap, same thing as well. I would have preffered the CRX rear discs, I dont think they would have stuck out. FYI I had to adjust my negative camber to have my wheels fit flush "granted I am using 15x8's though, no clearence issues with a 15x6.5
