Will stock 97 14" rims fit over a rear disc set up?

From what i hear its SOME 16" rims and all larger rims. I might be wrong though.

I found whole crap load of info using the Search feature. Give that a shot too.

NO.

That don't really make any sense, all 4 stock 14's are the same and they fit over the front disc brakes fine why wouldn't they fit over the rear? When I bought my RS I swapped wheels with my GS which had rear discs and didn't have any problems.

my bad there i was thinking of the GSX front brakes mabye

I have swapped to rear discs and have had my 14s on. Yes they do fit.

uhh my talon came with 14'' wheels and had rear discs stock too, it all fits up just fine?

yea i brainfarted and had GSX calipers in mind as well. Has been far to long since i owned the Rs and did the swap.

Thanks guys,

One more question. The backing plates on the ebrake assembly are in bad shape. Are they that important that I most have them intact? I assume they just stop break dust. My question is should I be concerned about the backer plates? The ebrake functions perfectly fine.

they're mostly there to stop road debris from getting into your pads and calipers except for the e-brake cable retainer. you can trim them down if you like, just keep in mind you run a higher risk of getting a rock lodged in your pads and grinding away at your rotor. I'd say clean em up and straighten them out and paint the suckers.
