Ive heard that they will make your wheels stick out like 1/8 inch on each side. Cant be that noticable. How much does it stick out?

on my 88 hatch the DA trailing arms make the wheels flush with the fender, they are 15x6.5 et38. If you really like the current wheels you have your best bet is to find some EF RTAs, otherwise get a different offset wheel.

here is a calculator that you can use to figure out what will fit best with the DA RTAs: http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp you will need to measure out the rear suspension and fender clearance on your car then you can use that calculator to figure out the best offset wheel for your car.

wow just glancing through here i see a bunch of miss info.

doing the rear disc swap is simple. you ONLY need the trailing arm from the da. you re use the stock civic toe compensation arm, upper control arm, and lower control arm. if you have issues make sure you're not installing bent parts.
