i wouldnt go any larger than 17s its all personal preference because i think even 17s are a lil too much on a civic.

16' would be a decent size rim for your car

depends if you are planning on changing any body parts? with my body kit 17's look good, but 18's would look better, on stock trim though 16-17's look good.

I'd do 22's!!! Nah, just kiddin'. 17's seem to be the happy medium between 16's and 18's. 16's not being big enough, and 18's sacrificing the comfort of your ride.

if you plan on getting a full lip kit/body kit, 17's would be nice imo..i also think 17's look better on 7th gens

17s are ideal for civics in looks and handling. 18s you sacrifice your ride quality and the possibility of a bent rim.

17s. to me 17s are really your best bet in any case unless ur talking about a super car. people forget that wheels are heavy ..so even tho a bigger wheel is only a little more weight..it all adds up. 17s are to me the happy medium between weight and looks.
