17 is really big for a Civic. Your ride quality will suck because you'll only be able to fit rubber band tires on those rims. That will mean a rougher ride. You'll feel every crack in the pavement. When you hit a pot hole, it'll literally be bone-jarring.

Honestly the ride quality isn't that bad. Everyone makes it sound worse than it really is. If you are lowered on 17s then it'll he bumpy but I had 17s on my car when I got it and at stock ride height it really wasn't a bad ride at all. And he already ordered not much he can do now. Worst part about 17s is how easily you can bend a rim or the lip on pot holes.

I had 17" on my other car, stock height rode fine. And yea Im keeping the stock height. The bigger rims will also give it a lowered look. Didnt want to lower it and mess with the suspension and handling, might do it in the future though. Not sure yet. And yea engel I was looking at the si wing.

Wrong. The bigger wheels will make the car looks like a monster truck IMO.



Stock suspension, with 17's.

Pic taken from here where the person posted another picture that I didn't feel like copying and pasting here. LOL
