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.

 

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...

 

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.

 

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.

 

im sittin on 17's and it is lowered, id put a pic in but i dont know how.

 

here you go

 

anyone else got any pics of lowered on 17's??? i would like to see what a 99 hatchback looks like pleeeease! I have seen one or two civics drive by with mighty rims on! but never had chance to stop and look

 

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.
