Default Whats size tires and rims do I need?

I have a 90 civic hatch, i am wanting the motegi gunmetal rims, I dont know what size rim to get. I would like the 17 but most of the time it looks like it makes the car sit up higher. If I went with 16s what size tire should i get? What size rim do yout hink I should go with? Thanks

17s are teh ugly. 16s look sweet. Get 205/45-16 tires.

if you got a hatchie id say go with 15's....ppl that have hatches on this site that have 15's would reccomend them and swear by them......17's are to big for a hatchback, if not the 15's def go with 16's.....

from what i've read, 15's are the way to go if you want more traction, less weight and more pull... but if yourheaded towards looks, 17's are cool, although make sure they look righton your car, the down side is there too much mass to rotate, sothe car gets slugish, unless you got some extra pony's under your hood...now if undecided, go towards 16's....hope this helps...
