Default 15" Steelies on an 02 Accord Coupe

I just bought 4 steel wheels with Blizzacks on them for $175. 15" 5x6.5" bolt pattern.

Figured even if there's a problem, I could probably resell the bundle for a profit. Now, should these wheels have any sort of clearance problem with the calipers?

I called a local Honda dealership, and the guy there wasn't helpful at all, basically freaking out telling me I shouldn't put those wheels on for fear of vibrations and alignment issues. Sounds like a load of BS to me, especially if the tires are balanced correctly.

Should there be any problem with these wheels on my car?

You're being fed a load of Horse manure.
The '02 DX had available a 14x5 (code 2JJ), also a 15x4 spare rim. Refer:

The '02 LX had available a 15x6 (code JJ). Refer:

i am confused... the spare rim was larger than the rims that were on the car? doesnt make sence to me. not saying you are wrong just seems weird.


but anyways i would recommend calling your local tire dealer to verify that those will work on your car. btw in my experience its the tires that make a difference with vibrations, not so much the wheels. i personally see no reason that they wont work unless there are clearance issues.
