on my gsr they clear the rear brakes but not the front.
on my girlfriends ex they clear the rear but not the front.
they will go on the car but when you go to drive, it feels like you have the ebrake up bc the inside of the rims hitting/touching/grinding along the brakes.

they will not fit EX/Si Civic or Integra-spec front brakes. They will only work on lower model Civic front brakes.

I have an Si and they fit

non ABS Civic that is. Just shave a tad off your caliper or add a 1/4inch washer, grade 10 of course

I'll get an up close pic

Edit- you'll see them at the meet
