Default civic rear disc brake swap

does installation of 90 thru 93 Integra rear discs to an 89 civic hatchback require use of larger than 14" wheels? Also looking for a 5 spd. / differential swap that will get me 4.40 final drive or lower (higher numerical ratio)? I know the crx ratio is 4.40. Can I do better with any other model trans?

ON the teg brakes you can go 14inch and up.No 13inch wheels

If the 99 rear Teg brakes are the same size as the 90-93 Teg brakes, I can test fit a set of 13" steelies on my Teg...

I'll probably do it anyways, just for my own reference.

I'll let you know how it goes...

i know for sure you can run 13" wheels on integra rear brakes.
My crx has them right now.
integra rear brakes, stock 13" wheels, never had a problem.

Thanks for all the quick responses to the wheel size question. Big help. Did the teg control arm / rear disc setup bolt into your crx with no modifications/problems other than e-brake length?

Again, thanks for all the feedback. Does anyone know just how much the teg swap will increase the track width?

When you say"only the EX upgrade requires 14" rims" are you refering to 90-91 EX or 92-95 EX?
Just curious...I have integra brakes 90-93 on the front of my HF crx.
I used the 90-91 EX knuckles inorder to fit the integra brakes.
If you're refering to the 90-91 EX 4dr. about "requires 14"rims"
How can you fit 13" rims on integra brakes.
the front rotors for both cars are 10.3 inch.
wouldnt both civic EX and Integra "require" 14s for clearence of brakes?

Just curious....Thanks
