Im wondering if my lx sedan could handle 18's cause i found some good priced ones on ebay. Or should i just go for the 17's

 

If they're as light as stock, the correct width, and the correct offset...Yes, they'd work on a 5th gen. I wouldn't recommend it though. Potholes will be harsh and potentially damaging. Tires will also be harder to find in the correct size. You would need like a 205/35-18, along with the correct rim width and offset, to fit without issues. 17s will be a little easier to find tires for (205/40-17s), but they'll still be harsh-riding and prone to damage. I'd recommend lightweight 16s with some 205/45-16 UHP tires. They'll handle better than stock, while still riding and taking potholes ok.

 

Alright thanks, I just wish ebay companies had more 16's lol

 

they will work, but like said: Its a stiff ride.

 

whats wrong with 16's? IMO, your car will look funky with anything bigger. tryin to be baller?

 

i think i know what he means; the ebay companies only sell like 17"s and 18"s, and they're SUPER cheap. But i agree with My05, "bigger the rims, the more baller!" Yeah thast not the idea with Civics haha anything over 17" will look odd, and with 18"s the ride will just be crazy stiff. I say go with 17"s and make sure you drop it a little bit to get rid of the wheel gap. Also try and get wheels that overall are really close to stock size. That way they will look as close to normal as possible.

 

I agree considering i have 17's on my car already and in the process or purchasing more 17's they are good. The ride is a lil harsh if you hit potholes, but hell you see them coming so just dodge them. Anyways 17's looks nice and yeah drop the car if you haven't already done so

 

i had 17's on my 93 dx over the summer and they rub if you have any kind of lowering so watch out

These 18's are more than likely a minimum of 8 inches wide. 7.5 would be rare. putting this on a 93 = trouble, add tothat the fact they are damn sure gonna be the wrong offset, they
would never fit. One more thing, the size tire you would be forced to run as stated above 205/35/18. Stretch that on an 8 inch wide wheel, or even a 7.5.....whew?
