So as far as I can tell these will fit no prob, but I thought I would just throw it out for some feedback.

15"x7" Rota slipstreams +40mm offset
225 50 15" tires, falken ziex 512s specifically

04 ex coupe, rsx rear sway bar soon, not lowered never will be.

Thanks!

225 is pretty wide for a 7in wheel....but they shouldn't rub cause you're not lowered...i got 215 50s on my 17s right now, just cause i needed some tires...the rears rub pretty bad but it's all good up front so you should have plenty of room with 15in wheels

the tire says its for 6-8" rim, and the listed specs were measured with it on a 7" rim. so I hope I can trust the numbers

I like your set up alot. I am going for some 17x7's with 215/45-17 not lowered with sway bars and upgraded suspension parts. Since you are going 15's though 215 should be the biggest

Have not bought the wheels/tires yet, but I should be able to get it all for 700. got the swaybar for $60 on ebay, and that alone is awesome for the car. much nicer feel to turning now, like it doesn't have to try as hard.
