Just save your money. It's not worth risking you car's and your well-being to look a little cooler. You won't look so cool when your car is in a ditch.

proper tire for lowered honda would be a 195/50/15, but you should be ok. you may rub the fenders at full lok with the steering wheel.

I run 195/60/15's and my tires rub.
