ehh the only pic i found of my car, anyway i have those 89 CRX Si wheels on my car and need to make sure that they will fit over the EX brakes with NO MODS.

also will 14" HX rims fit over them too, im thinking of getting a set...

 

yes stock EX wheels are 14"

 

so? thats not the question. i have heard that some 14inch alumium rims dont fit over the EX brakes....

 

they will not fit over them. get spacers.
or EX rims

I heard 3mm spacers will give enough clearance to work.....

my buddy put my HXs on his 94 civic ex sedan with the 10.3" front brakes and uh, yeah.......his car wouldn't move.....we learned the hard way.....

 

no mods, rims won't fit

 

GODDAMNIT you guys thats not what i wanted to hear, but THANKS saved me a huge headace....

never thought i would EVER ask this but where do i fine some spacers and will 3mm do the trick? will it look all homo if i just do the front or is it not noticable?

Try calling some tire places, they should have em.....u shouldn't even be able to tell in the front by using 3 mm spacers.....not like its gonna turn it into a vato-mobile with some 13x7 sticky outties

 

When I did my swap, I used EX knuckles/calipers. I had to very slightly sand the outside of the calipers to fit under my 88 Si wheels. Did not remove much metal, mostly casting flash and sharp edges that should have been trimmed at manufacture. I used an air die grinder and a 3" 80 grit pad. 5 min per caliper. Bolt on the wheel lightly and spin it to see where to sand. 3mm would be more than enough for the 88 Si's. Don't know about the other wheels.

yeah they barely dont fit. i also have a set of 14" miata wheels, the one that somewhat resemble panasports...they barely dont fit. just rub a little on the edge of the caliper. need to find some spacers also!

 

thanks guys! i will take off a rim and try to bolt it to just the hub (on the ground) and see how close it is...


how well do HX wheels fit? is it the same deal?
