[EDIT] Just noticed your Facebook group answers. So, not only the splines but the length of the half axles are the same? I also mistook this for a question about your Insight at first. Ugh! I need coffee.
I wasn't aware the shifter would be different, but it makes sense. I could go with taller tires, but literally just bought brand new 165/65r14's for it. Maybe next time they're due.

Keeping the gearing as it is will probably keep it more drivable anyhow.
