Default 13" or 14" wheels

Need to know if a vx 13" 8 spoke will clear a Gsr rear disc. Need some winter wheels and tires and not looking to spend a load of money. Can get vx wheels for $100 and that 4 tires for $100 from discount. Let me know. Thanks.

vx wheel will clear in the back, not the front. Same with HX 14s. The offset isn't big enough. HX wheels will fit the front either by grinding down the caliper a bit, or getting a 5mm wheel spacer.

94 dx coupe. Original wheels were 13" steelies. My front calipers look bigger than the gsr or ex rear dics. Found some 14" for $100 buck. Thanks again guys.
