225/40 is the correct tire for an 18" wheel on ur car. i cant say for sure but i'd atleast imagine that u wont have any rubbing issues with anything less than a 2" drop.

hmm i took a look at an 07 civic just like urs today, their actually lower than i thought they where. i'd recommend no more than a 1.75" drop for the front...2" drop and im pretty sure u'll be tucking the tire and could possibly rub.

u shouldnt rub, its the same diameter as ur original wheels...when u get larger wheels u get a thinner profile so u dont throw off ur odometer.
