The offset will determine how far they stick out, and offset varies from wheel to wheel. I would stay away from spacers.

 

get a wheel with a nice lip on it...

 

does anyone know of a set of wheels that look like these under 1000 notes.. http://store.finalstageauto.net/17voralewhsa.html

change of plan im gettin an ek 1998 3dr hatch

 

good choice. body kit make sure its urathane but, im with everyone else on the lip kit. its just better for daily drivers.

 

EK coupe. buddy club kit. dont lower. dont go over 17"

i hope you're kidding when you say 17s look too small.

 

ive got my civic its a 1998, dark metalic purple 3dr 1400cc hatch, what u guys think i shoud do to it first?....

 

lip kit, suspension(tein springs, shocks, strut bars), tint the windows, smoke the tails, 16' rims, and then performance stuff... which is not as cut and dried as looks are. u could go turbo or n/a... its up to you.
also, if u wanted, u could do some carbon fiber stuff, if u got the money.

 

some advice, dont rush into things..i know your probably excited like we all were/are when we 1st got the civic =] plan it out, make sure you know what you want, etc..and dont cheap out on parts, you will not regret paying the extra later on.
