2005 Wheels on a 97?

I have a 97 EX with original 14" steel wheels. Will 15" Civic wheels from 2000 - 2005 fit my car without any modifications?

the wheels will be fine, you just can't use the 2005 tires, they will be too big.

If you use the 2000-2005 tires your speedo will be off by a bit, and you might have problems with the tires rubbing (I believe the tires from the 2000-2005 are wider than the ones on your steelies) Get tires that are 195/60/15....I think the 7gens are 65 series, not 60 series, but I might be wrong about that also.
