There is nothing to change. They fit fine. Make sure that the tires are
195/60R15, as opposed to the 185/70R14 that came on the steel wheels. Your
speedo will remain the same.

15inch wheels that should work would come off of a 1986-90 Acura Legend,
90-97 Accord,
and maybe some vigors and 92ish preludes, but I'm not positive about the
last two.

Understood. My husband is about 6' tall and has no problem with
headroom and the sun/moon roof in his Accord EX V-6. Maybe they're
