can a 1998 honda civic handle 17 inch rims?

handling wise?

cuz i heard u cant go over a certain amount on ur stock tires..

any feed back would help me out thanks to all

yes, most of the time though, you will get camber wear. The amount of camber wear also depends on the offset and in general, on how much you lower your car. One way to prevent that is get a camber kit. Also, handling wise with 17" rims will obviously be less than optimal compared to stock 14-15's. Larger rims = larger tires, which results in your speedometer being slightly inaccurate. Hope I answered your question.
