I jus recently got 18s for my Civic (2003 Civic EX Coupe), but I am wondering if that size was a good choice... I hav seen many people wit 18s on their Civic, but I kno they hav had flat tires more than once... But at tha end of tha day, I felt 18s were the maximum on a Civic that would make your car still driveable.. What do u think, 17s or 18s?

Also - if anyone could answer this, I'd appreciate it - It is recommended that I get 215/40-18 for my 18s, but I want a bigg'r low profile tire... What other dimension(s) can I shop for?

 

16's FTW, you can get away with 17's on a seventh gen, but you're sacrificing ride quality.

18+'s are just stupid

 

Get 16's so you can run a 205 45 16 tire..........the 40s r too thin and with 18s u have a 35 tire, and its like riding on wood wheels.

 

17's can look good on 7thgens, but id say 16's or even 15's look the best.

 

so you think i should jus sell tha 18's and downgrade to tha 17s?

 

No dawg, get tha 16's.

 

16's for ride quality, 17 for looks, 18s for stupidity

 

i guess its unanimous!... 18s are too OD (overdose) for a civic, unless i "drive slow homie"....

 

Id say 18's are more for show than stupidity . Sure they suck as a daily driver but thats the owners choice.
You can rock 18's on a 7th gen with a nice drop and have it look sick.

 

i agree wit u belmont... im no big fan on performance, but i like havin that look... once i get my 18s, are there things i can modify to increase handling?
