Actually, there is a lot of info in other forums about them not clearing the caliper on certain Civic models, including 95 EX models. My car shares 10.3" rotor Nissin brakes with some Integras.

Over at HondaTech several folks posted that they had to use spacers on their 95s as well.

The information which is proving out as correct is that HX wheels will not fit 94-00 EX/Si's without either modification to the caliper (grinding it down) or 5mm spacers.

This afternoon I verified this. HX 14" wheel would not seat, entire side of brake caliper making contact with wheel. Btw, the wheel weighed a hair under 12 pounds on my accurate 25 pound scale.


Interesting, that is good to know. Im guessing the HX wheel has a different offset from the stock 14" steelies.

Does your EX have rear discs also?
