will 13 in" wheels clear the calipers on a 98 ek w/ stock brakes?

 

I know they won't fit on an Si i don't think they will fit on a 98

 

yes

 

yes they will, for sure???

 

oh 13's do fit on EX brakes if that is the case i need some EX brakes

 

this is a dx hatch they are going on

 

i tried fitting them on my 98 dx and they didn't clear the calipers..

 

anyone else....im gonna buy some wheels and slicks if they will!

 

bump....can anyone tell me for sure?

 

they don't clear the calipers on my 97 ex. don't know if they're bigger brakes though.

 

si's and ex have the same brakes...seems there's some confusion on that

i doubt they would fit

 

i tried putting on crx 13's on my 95 ex and they did not fit.

 

It's going on a DX, yes they will fit. They come stock from 92-95 like that. They're the same brakes.

 

I also tried putting some 13 inch wheels on my 95 civic and they wouldnt fit

ex or dx??

 

bump

 

13's on EX's WILL NOT fit. they do not clear the calipers. I've tried putting my 13" VX wheels on various friends' cars and they didn't clear the calipers.

 

on a '98 EK 13" rims will not work

 

Pretty sure the 13's aren't going to clear the EX calipers (larger than DX ones). I believe 14" HX's don't even clear EX calipers.

 

Nope. And 14" HX wheels won't clear EX calipers without a bit of shaving, so 13s definately won't.

 

Why does everyone keep mentioning EX brakes? He's asking about an EK. Last I checked that's a hatch....and they never came with 10.4" brakes from 96-00

thanks, i was wondering the same thing......THE CAR IS A DX HATCHBACK!!!!!

will they work????

 

problem is everyone gets used to calling the 96-00 chaissis EK...so people just start making up posts on all different models of that generation
get used it and start filitering out what you dont want/need

DX has smaller front brakes than the ex/si so they should fit

 

early 96-98 hatches came with 13's so they will fit, 99-00 came with 14's.

 

find a 13" steelie laying around and try it on... theres only one way to find out..

btw, u said ur buying 13"s for slicks... dont u think thatll be too small? especially with a GSR swap? u'll be shifting into 5th....
