17", some 16" rims fit but the selection is extremely limited. These were my old rims picture had a very low offset just to clear cause of the design. My advan RG knockoffs, clear the rim much better while keeping a 40mm offset.

no they are not 4 piston. this is basically an upgraded rotor size for a teg. but for EK's (or civic DX's) this is a significant upgrade. i have 16" mugen mf-8's and the clearance is perfect. they're about 11.2" for front and rear. cusco MS brace helped a lot and also the si proportioning valve. bites like a charm

Rota circuit 8's with willwood big kit,tryed to fit 15in...ya no worky,these work tho

some 16in won t work tho,these provide some nice stopping power when ripping and slamming the brakes on the back end tends to get pretty light lol,but upgraded to AEM rears and better pads,and that seemed to fix the problem now stops without backend going back and forth on ya

Heh.. 13" Baer Big Brakes.. Non-honda though

I didn't take this pic to get the brakes, and you can barely see them with my ugly ghetto wheels. Rota's coming soon.

Sir-Technikz, do you remember what offset your rims are. I been looking to get a pair of extra wheels to run some drag radials when i goto the track. All the 16's I previous knew that would fit were much to expensive. The rotas are usually inexpensive. Just wondering what offset you have cause running with 16's is cheaper both tire and rim. Also, do you remember how much washers you installed (shims) to properly align the caliper. Sometimes with the wilwood kit, that is a determining factor of whether or not you can install certain wheels. Thanks
