for racing 15's maybe 16's
For show I would go with 17's that top of the line not any bigger. This one kid from work bought some cheep 18 and they don't just look like **** on his car but it is slow as hell. But he does't have anything done to the car thats why it is slow.

i wouldnt lower if it was you, especally(SP?) if you have a bodykit on your civic. but, if you do lower it, i suggest 16s.

Its not for racing, just for show, however if I put 17's on the car wouldnt it look like its on stilts? If you know what I mean! I want to lower it, is that possible if you have 17's - (I dont want any problems like rolling the arches and rubbing etc etc...

Basically it would nice to see some pic's of civics with 17" and 16" alloys.

1. Whats the max I can lower the car with out it rubbing on 16"

1. Whats the max I can lower the car (if at all) with out it rubbing on 17"

i don't have a picture of my car but, I lowered my car about 1.5" and I have 17's on without problems. Personally, I don't like it when the tire is inside the wheel well. I like the tire to be completely visible. On my car, there is still about a 1" gap between the tire and the wheel well. This is without anyone in the car.

RE: Slamming my Honda Civic
 

My 99 Coupe Si have 17" and it's lowered 60 mm.. Look in the gallery for pictures. It's all white and shiny. You can't miss it.

my cars on 17's and dropped, oh say, around 2 inches on coilovers. i have absolutely no problems with rubbing. you can kind of see it in my avatar. i wouldn't go higher than 17 unless you have a european sportsd car or something, like my friend thats getting 18's on his S4. on a civic it just slows you down and looks out of place. i also keep a set of 15 inch toyos for when i feel like realy driving hard :)

Here my 94 hb 2" drop on 17s

I have coilovers and I don;t know how much my civic is lowered, but here's a pic

RE: Slamming my Honda Civic
 

You should lower your car 2', and put either 17's or 18's on it. I have 18's on my 98 Civic and it is lowered 2.5', and it doesnt do any rubbing.

18's and i had it dropped with coilovers didn't rub...19's rub only when u make sharp turns and i think should only be on adjustible suspensions cause it sits to tall...i don't have a pic with the 18's but 19's in the gallery under absoulute

RE: Slamming my Honda Civic
 

I thought that the 2' lower and 17's look sweet. But I will not lower them because I am sitting on some sweet ass tires made by bridgstone. THe are potneza's re900 i believe and they corner like a dream.

RE: Slamming my Honda Civic
 

im running 17's but im also lowered about 2.5". i initially had problems with rubbing, i just rolled my fenders and havnt had a problem since. IMO 17's set my car off.....although track time see's 14" yokos.
