you can rip out the wheel well, if it rubs on the outer part you can roll the fenders

19 inch wheels on a Civic will give you one bumpy ride.

18" max, 17" preferred

I wouldn't roll the fenders... such a new car. Just get smaller rims.



What tire size are you using?

If you decide to keep the 19", remove the splash guards in the wheel well. That's what i did when my tires kept scraping. Just make sure you bend up and parts of the fender so you don't slash your tire on a visible screw.

IMO, get some smaller rims.
