Default 05 EX Special Edition Rims on my 96lx

Ok, I stumbled upon a rummage sale today. Guy had a set of 15"(or 16" I'm not sure) 05' EX Special Edition Aluminum Rims with tires for $100. So I couldn't pass it up, since I was rolling on 96' factory rims without covers (ugly, rusty).

Do I have to worry about clearance while turning? I turned the wheel all the way and could easily put my fingers between the tire and fender. If I'm turning and hit a bump do I risk bottoming out?

I really like the way they handle, I'm just a bit paranoid since we drive around with the kid alot.

Not lowered, factory height. They are closer to the fender than the stock for sure. If I had to guess, I'd say factory was 1" clearance and these are 1/2-5/8" clearance.

I'll bet the factory 15 inchers have 195/55/15 tires, so that explains why your wheel well is filled a bit more. Of course, your car is now .80 - inch taller than it was.
