Default will 14" steelie fit 90'CRX sitting very low??

A friend of mine have a set of 14" steelies with stunt tires that he want to sell them to me. I need them badly for this nasty winter. but I'm not too sure if they'll fit my car clearly since the car is sitting so low?
I got Azenis RT-615 mounted on GSR blades on the car right now. they're fit just perfect so I don't why that tiny 14" steelies won't fit?

anyway I just need some advice from ya.
Thanks

what size are the tires on the 14" steelie? crx si's come with 14" wheels from the factory.

I have 14" steelies on my car during the tear down.

I don't see why they wouldn't fit. You are running a 15" wheel with probably 205/50/15's right? If the 14's have 195/60/14's on them the overall diameter of the 14's is only going to be .1 inches bigger. So, given this and the fact that most ef's have 14's on them, I'd say yes they fit.

I believe they're 175/65-14.

why not just raise the car up while its snowy? you dont need to be dumped unless you're a snow plow.

if you arent driving it, raise it enough to put those 14s on it. i'd not that critical to stay dumped.

That doesnt make any sense. Your current tire setup should have a diameter of 23.1", While the snow tire setup should be at 22.3"?? I dont get it. I understand that some sidewalls are slightly different even though the aspect ration is the same...

if you arent driving it in the snow and just dont want it to have corroded wheels while it sits, put it on jack stands so the preload in the suspension goes down, fit the 14s on just incase it decides to somehow fall off, and be set. If you really arent driving it, it shouldnt be a big deal to do.
