14" rims with brake conversion?

[Pandemic]

simple rotor-over-hub conversion:
OEM Acura 98-99 2.3 CL front hubs
rotors for 98-99 2.3 CL
pads - any options
Optional 94-97 Accord front wheel bearings


Single-piston brake upgrade with rotor-over-hub conversion:
OEM Acura 98-99 2.3 CL front hubs
OEM Honda front calipers from 95-02 Accord V6/wagon, 93+ Prelude VTEC, or 98+ ITR
OEM Honda 23T brackets
rotors for 98-99 Acura 3.0 CL or 93-96 Prelude VTEC
pads - any options
Optional 94-97 Accord front wheel bearings


I'm thinking about doing one or the other. Looking to do the single piston brake upgrade with ROH conversion... my question:

which option will a 14" fit with? 1, both, none? would they fit 15" ?

[ACCORDing2R]

I have the Prelude VTEC rotors & calipers, and 2.3CL hubs. The caliper barely clears the inside of my 95 EXR Accord (15") rim. When I have my JDM ITR wheels on, I have to use 2mm wheels spacers so that the caliper clears the rim.

I can no longer use any 14" rims on my car.

welp straight ROH it is for now. I can always upgrade later Thanks for the input

matt lets setup a date to run over to harrys u pull it and grab the roh off a ex accord. i found one up there. just got to take it off. also if you want. ill give you my legend rims (15") for 120 bucks. w/o tires.

Quick question for you guys. Has anyone ever thought of using (or actually used) crowsfoot wrenches to undo the bearing/hub from the knuckle instead of unbolding the LCA and pulling the axle?

crowsfoot is a bitch. i use sockets man.

[Pandemic]

do you think the lude vtec calipers and rotors would fit under an enkei rs5 16" rim?

[NAiL05]

It will fit on any rim bigger than 15"

You can get sockets on there without unbolting the LCA and removing the axle?

one way or another you'll find out you have to take off the axle. its not that hard man.

[BuckChoklit]

I know it's not hard, it's just an inconvenience. My rotors are warped and I don't have money right now for CL hub and I'm not doing my brakes unless I do the ROH swap.

2mm spacers?! why?!

BuckChoklit, its possible to get them reground w/o taking the rotors off. Look around for that option for now.

Quick question guys. When you do the 2.3cl hub swap do you mean changing the whole spindle, or just pressing out the old accord hub and pressing in the new one that makes it rotor over hub? can this work?

the only thing you have to press out are the bearings... you have to (should) replace the bearings, get the CL hub kit, then just take the knuckle apart, pull out accord parts that are able to be replaced with the kit. done... thats what i'm assuming anyway

It will fit on any rim bigger than 15"

SO just to make sure, The 11.1" rotor upgrade along with 93+ vtec calipers will clear this rim?
