Default 2015 accord sport wheels

Greetings,
I picked up a 4cyl accord sport, 2015. It has the expensive low profile tires on it. I can buy a decent set of lx wheels and the best tires for less than the best tires would cost me on the low profile wheels.
My reasoning is this, the car is only for freeway commute. Approx 450 mi a week. The standard size lx wheels and tires offer me what should be a better ride and longer lasting tires.
What I don't know is if the lx wheels will fit without issue, like calipers or rotor clearance? Any advice appreciated.
Again, I have a 2015 accord sport with 18" tires and want to go to the 'standard' lx 16". The over all size of the tires is negligable, 4 tenths of a mph at freeway speeds according to the calculator I used.
Thanks.

Default Solution, I think

I see that there are a couple of places (like tire rack) that offer 16" packages for the sport model indicating that there will not be any issue. I'll talk to my tire guy prior to ordering and see if has any input.
