Look at the sticky that is about 4 posts above yours.... or use the search feature.
15's: Expect near-stock ride quality. Also, they are usually the lightest wheels.
16's: Expect decent ride quality. They are usually lightweight, but not as light as 15's.
17's: Expect bad ride quality. They can be lightweight, but don't expect anything much lighter than 17lbs each. Also, 17's are usually the largest wheels that will fit a lowered civic without rubbing issues
18's or bigger: Expect even worse ride quality. They are usually heavy and will most likely lead to rubbing issues if you should choose to lower your car.
17x7 to 17x8 wheels - 205/40-17 (3.03% larger than stock)
Q. I just lowered my car... will my tires rub?
A. Well, we need some information here. Generally speaking, it won't matter how much you lowered your car or what size your wheels are. What we need to know is: are you using the right tire size? Also (and this is the big one), what is your wheel's offset? For the most part, anything smaller than 18" should not have rubbing problems (on 7th gen and earlier civics) when you lower your car, assuming you have the correct offset. Generally speaking, you want your offset to be at least +38mm to avoid rubbing. The bigger the offset, the better they'll fit (to an extent).
