15" rims on a 5th Gen Prelude

I found a guy selling CW ITR rims and just want to know if 15" rims will fit on a 5th Gen with the stock size calipers or not. I couldn't find any useful info from searching. Has anyone even seen a 5th Gen with 15" rims? These are obviously for autocrossing purposes not everyday use.

Yeah, they fit fine. The ITR uses the same rotor and calipers as the Prelude. The ITR wheels are too narrow to be of any use to us for anything other than snow tires IMO...

If you want 15" autoX wheels, there are better choices. (15x7 Kosei K-1)

Thanks. I was only 90% sure they would fit. Still thinking about it though......the price is pretty good. ...

Also for an awsome deal on some 15x7 Stern wheels, check out machiii.net. They are light and wide with a good offset, and they are only $400 shipped for the set.

Since 15's are lighter, lower gear ratio, increace acceleration and are great for autocrossing...why wouldn't 15's be great (and fun) to run on the street too? Is it ONLY the "looks" or is there some performance related reason , other than the obvious strength issue?
