I can also confirm that 14" steel wheels (at least those sold by Tire Rack) clear the brakes on my 2015 EX-L without issue.

It was 60° F here, so I'm not concerned about snow.

Snows are generally not as good as regular tires when they're not riding on snow.

VSA comes back on when you turn the wheel in first or as soon as you engage second gear. you have to kill the abs to get the car to work old school.

Just put ours on. Our old Mini cooper 15s are working a champ on the car with snow tires. I think the size is 175/55/15 or 175/60/15 can't remember and cant look right now.

Debating on if I should switch out the center caps with honda ones so they don't say mini.
