usually its a good thing to get wheels and tires before drop so u kno if u'll have rubbing issues when it comes time to drop and also so u kno how u want ur car to sit.

a set of 18" i think would go really nice,the 06 is a pretty big model so you need the rims to go with the size..i saw a 745i , the new one the other day and im pretty sure its packing stock 19s..made my rims look tiny

18x8 +42mm offset with a 225/40/18 you can drop the car 1.75 inches with NO problem.

ORIGINAL: mill$civic

the 06 is a pretty big model
false.

when i still had my EK i parked next to a dude with a new EX...i thought it looked bigger then when i got out of my car i was suprised to find that it looked the same size...maybe even smaller. what? so i come home and look up the dementions, and the new model is no more than 1 inch bigger in every direction. it really isnt any bigger than any previous model.

damn i miss that car...
