ITR 15" on 5th gen Prelude?

Anyone know for sure if USDM Acura Integra Type-R 15" will clear the brake caliper on 97-up 5th gen Honda Prelude? Prelude comes with 16" stock.

I'm guessing you might have caliper clearence problems.
And aren't ITR rims 16s.? I dunno know.

The 96 jdm ITR came with 15's that had a 4x114 bolt pattern. The usdm ones are 16's with the 5 bolt pattern. So you should have no problems with the usdm rims.

But the problem is that they're 6" wide so running a 195 - 205 is about the biggest you can go.

Yes, the US ITR wheels fit fine on a 5th gen. Offset is good, and the ITR wheels clear the Prelude calipers. But like TimeRacer pointed out, they are only 6" wide. So they are not of much use to Prelude owners from a performance perspective. Might be good for some narrow snow tires to be mounted on though...
