Definitely go hubcentric,and you'll definitely need extended studs.
For stock steelies,you could probably go almost any size you want without much problem,assuming you're running a 185ish or smaller tire.I'd say 20mm would be a good shot.You could measure from the tire sidewall out to wherever you'll encounter interferance to get a pretty good idea.

im wanting to see how funny your car will look with oem steelies flushedout.

And on my stock steelies when I go to get new tires I plan on running a 185/60/14... I'm runnin a 185/65 now and its just a little too much side wall for me, being that its not a white wall...

I don't see getting away with 25mm spacers and stock studs.

So,assuming that's what you have(I can't find any concrete info on what the stock specs are,and it's to cold to go out and pull out a stock steelie to look),without a spacer,the outside lip sits 30mm further "in" than a 15x7,+25mm wheel.
With a 25mm spacer on the steelie,the lip will now be 5mm further "in" than the 15x7 wheel.So,if you want to exactly simulate it's fitment,you'd need 30mm spacers.
Keep in mind too that the 185 tire you're running is also giving you 5-10mm more clearance than the typical 195 or 205 people run on Hondas with 15s.

*disclaimer* It's really early,and my math is liable to be wrong

what size tires are on them?

for the price of the spacers just buy used wheels for 100bucks more.
