Are there any problems in putting 15" wheels on a 2002.5 ES such as the clearance between the wheel and the brake caliper? I would like to use 15"s for autoX due to price weight and gearing

You should have no problems with 15's on your ES . You will just have to find some nice light rims. The sedans ,DX(14's 4bolt and LX 15's 4 bolt ) are the same brakes on the front . so you should have clearance problems in that department.

the rear discs brakes are smaller so if the rims fit the front then they will fit the rear

I am pretty sure that the front rotors are 10.2" vented rotors while the back ones are 10.3" solid rotors. It's possible that once you are done adding in the caliper the front's are larger... I have not checked that part out.Last edited by JJB; 09-26-2003, 10:33 AM.--JJB--
