Default rear disk swap.... offset change?

I just finished a rear disk swap from a 90-93 integra on my 90civic hatch... but i noticed the rear wheels stick out at least 5-10mm more.... has anyone ever heard of this?

i already have my fenders rolled a bit to clear a 15x7 +42offset wheel. but now it rubs again. i always thought that they fit like stock trailing arms.

I did the same swap and I have 17's. I didn't roll the lip and there is no rubbing.

Hi. The swap you did should only require that you change the front tow arms( the small pivot arms at the front of the main suspension arms) to make it a swap. After you do the swap, you should only need it to be realigned. If you didnt swap your small arms, that were on your car to start with to the integra suspension, your tires will stick out at the back. See ya...........

interesting.. the toe is fine, I adjusted the stock compensator arm to where it needed to be.

but the whole hub seems to stick out almost a half inch on both sides. i think ill just get the shorter spc rear lower control arms and fix the problem.
