Yes, but I dont think the tires will be the right size, I think the 7thgen tires are bigger, so it will throw off your speedo of your 99 off a bit.

Aren't the 2003 Civic EX wheels the same as the 99-00 Si wheels? If so, the Si model from that year calls for a 195/55R15 instead of the 185/65R15 that the 03 uses.

^^^ the tire calc on this site uses %.... so I believe if it is 1.5% that would mean when youre driving 100, it wuold read 98.5. But it also affect gearing a little as well.
