i know nothing about rims but i do know i want em! lol i gotta 97 civic lx sedan and i was gonna get these 18" konig rims off ebay and then someone told me they wouldnt fit so am i stuck with 17s for life? Or would my car look loke a hotwheels car with anything bigger? And is it true chrome are the hardest to care for? I mean damn i juss want my ride to look nice!!! Oh and is there a 18x7 rim? Or juss 17x7? Somebody help!

 

i don't no much about 18s on a civic ive seen them on them you can buy 18+7s try www.tires.com they have a lot of wheel and tire packages and the sponsors on this site .with 18+7s i think the tire size is 215/35/18 or 205/35/18 not sure

 

Yes you can get 18's.. go to www.tirerack.com you can put in your vehicle and color and pick the wheels they have and see what they look like on your car.. but 18's are gonna suck for daily driving unless you have perfect roads.. gas mileage will go down also..

Welcome aboard

 

Dont know if money is an issue but you should also check into tire prices on 17s and 18s. You will after all only buy rims once but tires several times and I know I go through tires like crazy.

 

18's fit with no problems on your year civic. Chrome is not hard to care for at all in fact the brake dust rubs off fairly easily. You WILL notice a signifcant drop in your ability to accelerate and stopping distance will increase. The ride quality will be fairly harsh due to the short sidewall not cushioning the road bumps. Once you put 18's on you will have to lower your car or else it will look very odd. Good luck in your search.

Berz out.

 

"fairly Harsh" is an understatement. I have 16's with 40 tires and those are too rough for my liking. IMHO a set of 16x7's with a 45 series tire is money on a civic. Great ride quality, and aggresive at that

 

yea i just got rid of my 18's i was soo excited that after major fender rolling i got them to fit, the ride quality sucked ****, they made my car slower, but they sure looked insane
