I`m looking to get new rims and tires for my 06 civic 4dr. Will 18`s fit or 17`s? thanks

JDMej1

depends on the width of the rim, personally id go no bigger than 16's for comfort and fitment

18s fit no problem. go for it

^ X2 just watch the width and offset to make sure you dont rub your inner fender because that can be damn annoying! lol

They should fit however I wouldnt go higher than 17 .. As someone said it before 16s is the most I would put in a civic.. That is if you care about your ride quality

good luck

all you guys talking out of your *** about ride quality blah blah blah have never owned 18 inch rims. actually odds are you've never owned a set of rims in your life.

rick10

I own 16s and the ride is def worst than before.. Not that bad

I also own 17s on my 3 but those are stock m the ride is good there , but then again those are stock

I drove a 94 civic with 18s and it was bad..

The guy ask for advice so that is what people are giving him , for you to assume people never owned rims is not nice , sorry mate

don't be sorry, just don't give half assed advice. an '06 on 18s will ride fine.

what you loose in ride (which isn't much) you gain in style.

15s FTW

I wouldn't go any bigger than 16 on older civics. Though newer civics are different. They take much bigger rims. I've been in a 08 Si with 19s and it wasn't bad. Yes it gets a bit harsher as you reduce the sidewall height but its really not bad.

Just make sure you get the right tire size for the car, so your speedo isn't off by much.

talking out of my ***? comment not really appreciated because you know nothing about me or my rims size...

..i used to own 17 inch konig rims... traded em for 15's. looks wayyy better. the ride quality is terrible with a 45 or smaller sidewall, you feel everything in the road. also you have a better chance of bending/damaging your rims with a thinner sidewall. i just prefer to keep my civic non-rice... and unless i owned an 8th gen, 16's are the biggest id ever go..

8th gen civic comes with the following stock rims sizes.

DX - 15 inch Steels
LX & EX - 16 inch alloy
SI - 17 inch alloy

18 inch will fit with stock ride height just fine with 45 or 40 sidewall. But you have to be careful if you lower it. That's my 2 cents.

Check out 8thCivic.com - 8th Generation Civics and you will see 8th gen civics with some sexy looking rims up to 18 inch.

Proper tire size would be
195/45r18 only read 0.3% too fast
205/45r18 would read 1.1% too fast
215/40r18 would read 0.8% too fast
According to Tire size calculator

jamie1985

Sidewall height on above sizes are as follows:

195/45R18 - 87.75mm
205/45R18 - 92.25mm
215/40R18 - 86.00mm

jamie1985

Stock tire size for 2006 civic is 205/55R16 I believe. Therefore:

195/45r18 would read 0.1% too slow
205/45r18 would read 1.6% too slow
215/40r18 would read 0.4% too fast

D.T.P

I may have used the wrong tire size.
If I did, my apolagies.

vtecgoesbwahh

why are u putting 18's on a civic ...? it dosnt look nice IMO thats how u rice a car
and ur ride quality isnt the best
17 or 16 best option is 16 best performance look...overall better

nelsonr31

18' fit no problem, just watch the width and offset. Here' my old 2006 civic Si with 18' on.
