NO not in the front... im pretty sure at least.

i know my 99ex will not fit 13s on the front, but on the rear they will fit.

I think the 93 brakes would be a different size wouldn't they?

Anyone else actually have a 93 ex coupe and put 13s on it?

why not measure your brakes? measure it from the axle nut to the furthest part from the brake caliper. and measure your wheels max internal diameter...
or try local junk yard and just buy a 13inch steel wheel and try it on yours. but im pretty sure the EX14s brakes are all larger than the standard DX13s.

or just try and sell the 13 winter tires and buy some winter tires for your 14s

I'm not sure if that would fit, I'd recommend a 185/60/R14 for a winter tire. Usually anywhere from 14-18's are common on 5th generation civics.

I have a 93 Del Sol Si which has the same knuckle and front brakes as the Civic EX of the same year and I can fit my old 93 DX's 13" wheels on it.

EDIT: I have found this to be incorrect. My front brakes are equal to DX brakes, probably due to the car being small.
