Default Integra brakes + HX 14" rims = ???

I have stock Civic HX 14" rims on my HX chassis. Though I am soon picking up some nice 17's :D , I prefer to keep these stockies with my Azenis tires for the road courses.

I am swapping the rear brakes to GSR rotors and calipers and am thinking about doing the same to the front.

What I need to know is whether the HX rims will fit over the integra rotors and calipers. If it is an offset issue, I might be able to use spacers. Also, if anyone knows how large of an aftermarket rotor will fit under the 14's I'd like to hear it.

Thanks in advance.
Larry

They will rub in the back, not sure about the front but I doubt it. My friend had an 00 Si and tried using the HX wheels. They barley fit in the back and after driving around the block, the caliper grinded a nice ring on the inside about 1/16" wide and deep.

So is there a difference in the size of rotor or caliper on the 99-00 Si as opposed to the Integra? I know that the caliper dragged the inside on my friends 00 Si and his brakes are stock. If he would've used a spacer, probably around 1/4" it would've cleard but just barely.

Thanks for the replies.

So do you think if I use a spacer on the front it should clear?

Haha, man at least they left you some real rims instead of ghetto hubs...okay, sorry.
