Default Slick size?

Would i have any major rubbing problem if i run 27x10x15 slicks on my STOCK height CX? I know 27 is pushing it and 10 is pretyt damn wide for a honda but if it fit my car why not

27x10 is way, way, way too big. Yes, it will definitely rub on something unless you're running like -200mm offset or something.

If you're running an average NA car, you should be looking at something like a 22x8x13.

What sort of power are you making, and what are your spring rates and dampers?

Because your car will actually be slower with 27x10 slicks than with a properly sized drag radial or even street tire.
