OTOH, Mini Mad's Performance 12x5 Superlights bolted straight on, with full size 9.1" Honda rotors, don't even need any spacers. Apparently Superlites are not all the same, check `em...

Yeah, my superlites are stepped on the inside of the rim. If i wanted to fit the honda kit, id need to make it to suit 10 inch rims. Cause the inside of my rim is basically the same as a 10 inch rim...... |

I'm about to buy some from Tempe Tyres (12" rims). I have no idea if they will fit. Am I better off getting the 12" or 13" rims or are the 13" rims opening up a whole new set off problems. |

Both will fit. Anton had Tempe Tyres' 12s on JAM with std Honda Civic brakes. |

thanks, cant wait to get them now. Any tips on getting them installed. I'd prefer a brake place to do it, as I havent got a clue and dont want to muck around with brakes. Any place you could recommend me to, I'm in the "Hills" as well. |

I've got the calipers and disks, what else would one need. Has anyone in oz got a mounting plate for the calipers. I've got my 12" rims now so I'm looking forward to slapping the brakes on. |

Hi, I've done three 9.1" Honda conversions now, with mixed results. I have been getting my rotors and calipers from a local (Perth) wrecker, problem is that they have all been "off the shelf" so I can't be certain of age or model. I have been told that most of the 9.1" rotors are off jap imports (i.e. front-cuts) of late 80"s Civics. Whilst searching at the wreckers I did find a pair of smaller Civic discs (~8.4"), unfortunately there wer no calipers. I think they were off a 70s model...probably very rare now. All 12" rims I have tried require a spacer (minimum 15mm) to clear the caliper when doing the 9.1" conversion. Having said that, I have managed to fit a set of Performance Hotwires without spacers by grinding a bit off the calipers...not too much. It also helps if the pads are not brand new. I have an AutoCad drawing of the bracket, PM me if you want a copy. Chers, Dave |

I am a fan of direct bolt-on jobs. Like FACTORY 7.5s/8.4s
