without drop, possible... not sure about the turning
i know stock height rides on 185/65/14 i think...
215 might be too wide....

anyways, even it fit, i doubt the car will be drive-able without being harass by cops... its just too big to turn and can be very dangerous riding on oversize wheels

aside from rubbing and what not, eg's and 18's don't really go together just on a cosmetic level, waaay too big imo. I think on an eg 16's look best, and on an ek 17's. If u do go with 18's, it wouldn't be a bad idea to upgrade your brakes.

I don't know the size of OEM TL rims, but I have 17s on my EJ coupe with a 1.8" drop....205/40/17. I wouldn't even consider going to 18s. The only reason I bought 17s was because that's the smallest size they come in.

nevermind turning radius, nevermind rubbing, never mind unsafe driving alltogether...


just good luck hitting one of the many potholes in our fine city streets.


unless your car is going from trailer to the show, putting 18" wheels on a civic is stupid imo.
