6.5 in front - if you change them, you'll have to do some cutting because aftermarket speaker's magnets are too big and won't fit in the door.....

Yea, they are 6.5" (16cm) all around. I replaced all of mine, and they fit fine. It's a PITA to change the rears though.

Be careful with the top mounting depth on the rear speakers. Although you can fit damn near any size depth in the front, the rear is usually a problem. If you want to keep your grills on and avoid having your speakers hanging out, don't get anything more than 2" depth. Most large coaxial (3-way) 6 1/2"s that boast large tweeters have this. I would stick to a 1-13/16" or less top mount depth just to be safe. I believe most 1" depth speakers are 2-way. Just FYI.

So, you got a radio from Honda? From the dealer or factory? Did you pay for it?
Because I know that a stock Euro ITR don't come with radio/antenna/speakers from the factory. Some dealers mount them afterwards.

And like someone said, if the speaker is too deep (most of the high power versions are), you'll have to cut the plastic holder (front ones) to make it fit!!!

Smaller speakers usually are less powerful. I know that Pioneer makes special high power speakers (>50 W) that are undeep....

16 cm is the diameter, not depth. 15 cm speakers don't exist. You'll need 16 cm speakers but undeep ones, otherwise you'll have to cut some plastic holder.....

Yep, I have the Pioneer in my car, al I remember is that they are blue 16 cm. I'll look up the model number in a second. I like them, they aren't the best, but they're noticibly better than stock. I paid $50/set USD.
