Default 15" Steelies for snows on '06 Civic Coupe

Have a friend here in New Hampshire preparing for the frozen winter. Wants to find some used 15" steelies to put a set of 195/65R15 snow tires on his '06 Civic EX coupe, 5-speed for winter use. Has a motorcycle that he uses 99% of the time in the summer. Mostlikely selling stock alloys off and rocking the snows permant like. What bolt pattern steelies will fit the car

Anyone know if the 15" steelies off a '99 Accord EX V6 coupe would clear the calipers on a '06 Civic EX coupe? Tire rack has a optional snow size of 195/65R15 but thre don't offer wheels in 15" for the '06 Civic coupe EX??? Snow traction woulkd be betetr in a light car like the Civic coupe with 195 width vs. teh 205/55R16 stock!

Good to know, thanks! So I guess any 5 X 114.5 mm Bolt patern Honda steelies should work.

I guess so. You may want to double-check with the retailer that they will indeed fit your exact car, but I don't see why they wouldn't if it worked on my EX (which remember, has disc brakes in the rear).
