14s on GE?
I know that 14's came stock on the GD3 and I also know that 14's won't clear the calipers, but I have heard them done using a 5mm spacer. Is this a posibility? has anyone done this? I'm only saying 14's because I can grab a few sets of OEM integra wheels, and I want somthing cheap, smaller and easier to spin for track days

Some Honda 14's fit; others won't because the dish won't clear the calipers. However, on the couple with too close dishes we fitted the 5 or 6 mm spacers did the trick. Do not go over 6 mm (1/4")

In general yes because the profile on 14's tend to be much greater so sidewall is more flexible, in order to keep at least some approximation of the original tire diameter.
For example 195/55x15 tires are 23.44 " diameter and the winter size of 175/65x15's are 23.95", perfect for winter use. Narrower tire with slightly greater diameter)
The 175/65x15's are also good for replacing the 185/55x16's.
