Default 1993 Civic delSol S 15" Tires?

Hello everyone, sorry if this has been answered somewhere else. I've been trying to get a straight answer on whether I can +2 the tires on my delSol to 15" wheels (195/50/R15) with no real issues.
Here are the wheels I'm considering https://www.carid.com/dai-alloys-whe...284527133.html
I wrote to CarId about it and all they did was tell me that they have a policy that the wheels will fit, but company policies and the real world don't always go together.... My concern is that if they don't It will probably be a giant pain in the *** to return them, etc. I'd like to avoid that. So anyway, has anyone done this? What were your results, wheels rubbing in the wells at all, etc.?

Yeah those wheels look absolutely horrible. They look like them knock off brand 17's but packed into a compact 15' size lol.

Anyways since you have a S get ready to notice less mpg, acceleration, and top speed. I never recommend anything more than a 14' wheel with a d series motor.

They will fit the car just fine. If the styling is what you like... ignore the haters above and be happy. If we all liked the exact same styling upgrades, all of our cars would look the same. If that is the case, we might as well leave them all stock. LOL

Thanks guys, especially JVCivic1 and NVturbo, for the relevant useful information. Since it's my money, and opinions like that are always subjective, I'll take the unnecessary opinions on looks with a grain of salt.

haha...you asked and you received. If everyone was to ask "what part looks the best on my car", this forum along with countless others would be filled with pointless threads.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE ADVICE: Step back about 10ft away from your car and say to yourself....DAMN, if I put that on my car, it looks like ****. Never mind.
