I like the body kit (The BC2 kit is one of the only ones I like), but I'm not a fan of the headlights.

Anyway, I'd say do not get anything larger than 17's. 205/40 tires have ~3" of sidewall, and you will feel everything on the road. I had 17's on my old civic and I'm not exaggerating when I say I could literally feel every small rock and bump I hit. Also, 18's will look out of proportion, since you'll have huge wheels on a small car, and the stock brakes tend to look comically small.

For reference, 17's on a '94 civic:

You can see what I'm talking about with the wheel size compared to the brake size even with 17's. With 18's, it'll look even more awkward.

Nobody on this forum or any honda forum for that matter will say those rims would look good.

So no.

Calm down, guys. Everyone on this forum had taste for certain looks not everyone on the forums agreed with at one time.

OP, the wheels are a bit much IMO. Personally, I would go with something like this, this, or this.
