    17's will fit, but look too large in some people's opinion

    To keep a good ride height & have a comfortable ride as well as a good stance I suggest nothing bigger than 16 inches or wider than 7.5

    You probably would'nt have any problems other than rubbing sometimes. However I agree, no bigger than 16. What rim are you wanting? The reason I ask is because you might be able to find a different brand rim of the same style that is available in 16.

    The best look & feel in a Civic IMO:

    4th Gen: 13"-15"
    5th Gen: 14"-16"
    6th Gen: 15"-16"
    7th Gen: 15"-17"


    And I know this because I have owned/co-owned all of those generatons of Civics.
