94 ITR rims

[206CB7]

Hey so i bought the four lug itr wheels a while a go. and today i tried to fit them on my car but the spokes wouldnt clear the brake calipers....has anyone had this problem before? would spacers help with this issue?

[Adan]

Thought i'd clear the calipers..anywho. spacers would deff. Help. Just gotta figure out that size spacers your going to run. Plus don't you mean '96 itr's.

Spacers in the front will help, I'm using 0.2" (6 mm) thick ones on my ITR winter wheels.

Hey bro, you need to use 5mm spacers ^^ he used 6mm, but 5mm will work just fine man.

I had a 1/4"(6.35mm) spacer on mine and they were fine around town. I hopped on the highway for a long trip to CHI and didnt even get back home before the threads sheered out of the lugs.

I CANNOT stress this enough; If you're going to use a spacer larger than 5mm, please PLEASE get extended studs and open-ended lugs.

Even with a 5mm spacer, I'd use extended studs.

Or, you could even shave the caliper bracket. It's not the caliper itself, it's just the bracket. Shaving a few millimeters off of it wont hurt anything. It's not a VITAL component and requires less work than adding extended studs.

Just to reiterate... 94 will not fit. 96 was the ONLY year the ITR was 4x114.3.

IIRC, the Integra Type R didn't arrive in the USDM until 96. 97+ Integra Type R's were 5 lug.

So, in other words, I don't think there is such a thing as 94 ITR wheels... 92-95 civic HX had wheels that looked similar but were 4X100 and therefore won't fit our accords.

Actually, you're right in a way. The Integra Type R was introduced in Japan before the US (as always with the good stuff!), but it wasn't until 1995. So there was no 94 ITR ANYWHERE... though the manufacture date of a 95 would have been 94.

Yeah my boy has ITR's and this is what he did. Like MikeW said, it didn't hurt anything and he didn't have to bother with buying spacers and extended lugs and whatnot.

I shaved the caliper on mine after the One Ton Garage 5mm spacers I used started causing me vibrations. If you shave the caliper, you'll also retain the hub centric locating of the wheel on the hub, centering it over the lugs for a much better balance and ride.

yea i actually meant 96....typo lol

and so if i went about shaving the caliper bracket instead of the spacer route, do i just grab a file and go to work or what. I havent shaved caliper brackets before haha. also what would a good brand for spacers be? i'd probably get 5mm ones.

[MikeW]

Ichiban is one of the better names but they're pricey.

As for shaving the bracket, just grab a grinder wheel and take a little bit off at a time. Take a little off, put the wheel on, spin it. Repeat until the wheel spins free and clear.

It's up to you if you want to put any kind of paint/primer/product on the bracket as it will now be exposed metal and it will rust over.

hmm i see. thanks for the help i appreciate it! if i can find some good spacers i'll go that way since i dont have access to a grinder right now.

you could also use a dremel rotary tool, thats what I did, its more precise but take a lot longer

Had 5mm spacers on mine with stock lugs for 4 months now with no issues.
