I am pretty sure you will need decent spacers or after market wheels with lower offset + more concave spokes to clear.

Haven't seen any EP3Rs with stock rims and spoon calipers around.

Plus the stock rims are quite a flat based surface.

I was wondering about this also but for the amount of money i think you would be better off with some brembos or any other type of aftermarket reasonable calipiers

Stock calipers barely clear the stock rims.

Yeah, Brembos are cheap these days, but I think we all have to change rooms if we want 4 pot calipers. I guess I better change rims first

out of curiosity, hondas especially civics are known to be worked, for form and/or function. The most obvious is wheels and suspension upgrades.

almost every ep3r i see in sydney has stock wheels. jsut a trend i noticed.
