Icon2 215/70/15 studded on '02 V6 accord

I recently got a set of Nokian nordman-2 studded winter tires size 215/70/15 for FREE. Would I run into problems running them on my stock suspension 2002 v6 accord 15" rims?

What is the correct tire diameter for your car? Those are 26.9" diameter tires, which sounds rather large for an Accord, but if that is within 2% of your original size then you should be fine.

Stock tires (205/65R15) average 25.5" in diameter, and the 215/70R15 will average 26.9". I'd expect a little rubbing when the car goes over big bumps (compressing the springs fully), and you also may see the ABS light flicker or the system have issues as you are more than 5% over what the car is programmed for.

Since you're only paying for installation, it's your call on if you want to experiment with them or not.
