18's on a 6 gen Civic 4dr?

What do you guys think about 18's? Too big?

I think 17's are kinda small ... plus I'm getting big *** fender flares.

18s will fit but will rub pretty badly

19s have been done with with serious wheelwell modifications. A guy on PureHonda had 'em way back when... and LJ Garcia had em too.

Judging by your username, I guessing this is for a show car. If not, I wouldn't do it, those rims are too big and the tires will be too low profile for a daily driver. One decent sized Toronto pothole and you'll understand what I mean.

i don't like bling bling wheels, only brown people buy those. I'm planning to get 18" ADR spade in silver or white. It's more of a "tuner style" wheels. Trust me, I will be doing major wheel well work too. Plus 17's on a civic with a full body kit looks small. I thought of going with 19's before but they only work well with airbags.

yeah i would definetly be worried about the quality of the ride with anything bigger than 17's. some brutal roads around, and you gonna feel every little crack and crannie... big time...

as well as, when you get into the 18's and up, with the price for tires and the rims themselves, you might as well pick up an application for bankruptcy while you're out...


heh heh... brown...

I can get wheels & tires for dirt *** cheap so bankruptcy won't be an option ... I don't care for speed anyways, I rather cruise and not be those ying-yangs zipping through traffic

16's look fine if a car doesn't have a full body-kit
