Keep it a total sleeper. It's better that way. The first time you waste someone with it, it'll be totally worth it. Good Luck! Hopefully at somepoint, I'll have a K20 in my car, but it's a ways off.
As for the wheels sticking out. There are actually wheels specially made to fit the large Brembos on ITR's, Skylines, Silvias, etc.... They have a large bow in the spoke to fit the caliper in and keep the wheels properly placed....
Problem being... they're all pretty expensive.
A couple examples....
I don't know of any in-expensive ones due to the nature of the cars they're designed to fit. Maybe try smaller spacers or you might have to flare the fenders a little bit.
You may want to try wheels with offsets in the 48-50 range... It's an S2000 fitment so they're available and you might have some luck.
One more question... Do you have power steering?

Rep Power: 0 fitment for the dc5 cluster shouldnt be the problem, its the wiring. The plugs on the civic harness dont match up with the dc5 cluster. I suppose if you got DC5 etm and civic etm, you could possibly figure out the wiring but i dont think its worth it. Im just going to get an aftermarket tach and be done with it.

Rep Power: 0 Sorry, its not too hard to get to so ill just keep it up front. Anyways, that more weight distributed over the front so thus better grip in the front.
