you should be able to fit 17"s on there, I wouldn't go bigger than that though. 16s if you are in an area with many potholes. Less chance of bending a rim that way.

I currently have 16" with 205/50's on mine and I'm planning on dropping it 1.3" in the front and 1.4" in the rear, and I know I'll still have room to slide some 17"s in there if I wanted.

I think 16's are the best for any Civic. They still allow for performance and a good comfortable ride.

i would go 16" or 15" since it's a hatch. 17" rims on a hatch just look crazy big imo....

16"s sound good, or 15" are always a nice choice

yeah, 16" is going to give you the best combination of ride comfort and performance IMO.
