Yes they'll fit by why go narrower in the front and marginally wider in the back? You know the stock wheels are 16x8, right? And BTW, you posted this in the wrong section.

Don't put friggin' Civic rims on your FD. Please.

Who cares if you can get them used for a good price? A poor product bought cheaply is still a poor product.

Yes, they will look tiny. They are too small for the FD. Your car will not handle as good as with the stock rims/tires. But it's your car, do what you want.

A 225 tire on a 7.5" rim is not as wide as a 225 on an 8" rim. You don't put skinnier wheels on a car than the stock ones. If you don't want to listen to my sound advice, do what you want, but you're making a mistake.
