Why would Honda put 15" wheels on the car if it looked so shitty?
14" wheels=acceleration but gear runs out to quick for street and highway
15" wheels= optimal for stock transmission's becuase it allows for optimal torque through the gears and enough gearing to be efficent on the highway
16" + wheels= the larger you get the longer the gearing and slower the accelleration, non-efficent

just to clear up what i meant about having a widebody kit or fender flares was that you can/should go wider like (for example 275) to make up the added space..... granted tho if you were to add those widths successfully it wouldnt look rite... so i said that unless you had a wide bodykit of flares then it wouldnt look rite... besides that you would rub....
As to why honda wold put on 14-15's on the car... well first off...yes it is more economical.. but what you have to remember... these are the sizes that majority of car owners have..plus the availability of those sizes are much more affordable..... do they look ugly?? yes they do.. but it serves it purpose... theres more stuff to write but im just lazy rite now...
now to speak realistically.. when people talk about losing speed and efficiency.. its becomes so minute... speed wise you lose what.. a couple hundreds of a second?!? its not everyday that let alone at all, drag racing the car as a job.... so yes you do lose it... but does it make a difference between nite and day?? no it doesnt.... it gives you more of an excuse to up the power under the hood.... more bottom end power to get those bad boys goin
All in all.... he just asked if those tires would fit.... its a yes and no answer... simple as that..... dont get me wrong here... im not bashing on you at all or think that your a d!ckhead... im just merely explaining the reasoning behind wheel/tire sizing.... you may have different preference as to what you like on your ride... and everyones different... but if someone asks a question about it, then they will get different answers from all the other members... some may agree and some not.... but thats just the way the ball rolls..... Just wanted to give my personal 2 cents as to his question....
Like i said.. its all good between us.... i was never flaming on ya..:P
