18" or 19" It depends on u financial stat... I prefer 19" coz the bigger is the better... but increasing rim size will lower down ur RPM slightly(don't care abt it) but it also effects on ur fuel efficiency... the best thing is it'll give u extra grip around the corners and more race mode....

I think 17" would be ample, in 6" or 7" wide, whatever will fit.I have a 95 Del Sol. It has 15" rims and looks way undertired compared to today's style. You can go up 2" easily and it would look much better. It's best if you can maintain the same rolling radius as the original tyre otherwise your speedo and odometer will be out. That's amateurish.There's no reason for them to rub when you turn unless you lower the car or go too wide. Just ask a professional and they will be able to advise you best.The trend nowadays is for 18" everywhere, and even 19", but the tires are much more expensive and you are at much greater risk of rim damage from kerbs and potholes, and back damage from the stiff ride. I think 17" is the best compromise based on looks, price and utility.Mr 'stock is best' - sometimes it's better to live a little.

I have found that stock rims and tire sizes work best on most vehicles. Every time I tinker with sizes it will improve something a little bit but it seems to degrade other things a lot.Honestly, until I have more education and experience than the people who design cars I will stick with their configurations. I would never recommend slamming a car down on the ground and putting ultra low profile wide tires on it. It will go great on a straight freeway but it will rub tires in a corner, it is nearly impossible to negotiate a speed bump and if you hit anything bigger than a pencil with one of those tires it will cut a sidewall and probably damage a rim. Nope, give me stock, it's a lot less headache in the long run.

dont go any bigger than 16's. if you go with anything bigger your tires are just gonna rub. im assuming you are going to lower your car also.

Everyone who said 16s and up, suck, I would never dare put 17's on a Civic, just ewww, get some EM1 wheels...

well I have a 98 - 4 dr civic and i have 17's on it.. it looks damn good.. black n chrome rims n my car is black.. and still enuf room if to lower it.. Kumho tires are good too! I don't know if u've thought of it but a spare set of all winter tires would be a good investment so u dont mess up the rims.. Honda's are the .. =D good choice.. I answered like 4 questions here lol..
