Default Rims size...help

I have an 07 civic coupe and i was wondering how big do you think i should get my rims without making my car look like a wannabe lowrider. I was thinking about getting 19"s so i dont need to drop my car or would 18"s be alright.

id say 17s..... but mainly depends on your roads in your area....... i live in indiana and we have majority of good roads so im running some smaller 205-40-17s... preaty low profile tires... and my friends newer civic is running 17s but he gets to run larger tires which helps smooth out his ride for those crumbie michigan roads!!!
but i wouldnt go any larger than 18s! check with tire sizes so you dont screw up your speedometer..... most people say 16s for performance and looks.... but im more looks over performance so i went with 17s on my 99 PLUS once you go 18inchs and over... tire prices start jumping up....

I think 18's would be nice on your gen civic. This one has the optional 18's on it
