Default Replacing OEM Bat w/ Interstate MT-51

I know that the dimensions are slightly larger.
Was just wondering if there was a problem doing so, or would I have to just go to the Honda dealer and order a new OEM?

P.S. Tried to search -- it was offline.

as long as it fits and it meets the minimum performance specs of the stock battery you are fine. Our battery size is 51, isn't that what the Interstate is that your using ?. I put in a Kirkland 51R from Costco and it works/fits fine.
